Don't forget especially with xfce you can take just parts of it like the panel or mix parts with gnome panel or gkrellm. You may lose some features? without some parts like xfvwm but will likely gain some speed, simplicity and existing fvwm configs. One thing I am not fond of in xfce compared to fvwm is it being annoying to configure using a text editor and config file copying and locking it down only being semi filesystem based and again not so straight forward. -- _______________________________________________________________________ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well.
