Another possibility: Substitute LXDE for XFCE. Long before systemd, I discovered that XFCE was kind of unstable and not real trustworthy, whereas LXDE is quite the opposite. The only XFCE advantage over LXDE I ever found was drawers and stuff, but installing dmenu should render that LXDE disadvantage moot. And LXDE uses a lot less RAM. Over the years Xfce has gotten a little porky.
