My search is for one that is less annoying than any that I have tried in Debian so far which includes X, Xfce and Mate. I feel the underlying Debian is part of the annoying behavior with the UI. It's really just plain stupid things like the login prompt and most times you start the synaptic package manager the focus does not go to the password field so you have grab your mouse and click on it to get focus. This kind of stuff worked as it should in Ubuntu 6.06 so why go backwards I have no clue. It seems to me that a bunch of things were changed and not completed in the UI's for Debian.
