Your subject intrigues me. There are 2 reasons I prefer LXDE to Xfce: 1) LXDE is much lighter 2) LXDE is more reliable If you can really lighten up Xfce, that addresses #1, and probably to some extent alleviates #2. I believe lighter usually corresponds to less bugs, or else I'd be using Redhat. Or Windows.
note that the raspberry pi lot worked very carefully to put together raspbian as extremely light and minimal for a very small cpu but intended to be used by linux noobies as well as others. They chose lxde, it runs with very little extra baggage and is a very familiar style of interface, the default setup is to use startx from the console only when X is required, or add it to rc.local if a desktop and monitor are wanted.
No idea what they have done now they use a bigger chip and have moved on from their old default install.
