Hi Matias,
I think this is more a distribution concern/responsibility than of a desktop environment, I'm not convinced this makes sense as an Xfce project.
Probably it's better to have something independent as your project, compatible with multiple desktops which eventually can be adopted by different distros.

Cheers,
Andre Miranda
