I used KDE (still have it on a Caldera box that is being
replaced by a Gentoo one. I use xfce on two systems and
it works fine. I have my icons, I can run programs -
switch desktops, etc. everything I could do with KDE
without the bloat <G>. I can't compare it to Gnome as I
only used that for a few months on a RH 7.3 system. I
haven't tried scripting xfce yet. You might join the xfce
mailing list (check at www.xfce.org) for firsthand info.
The developers hang out there, too.

That was the bit I was wondering. I tried it last night
by starting it

around to
trying to set the XSESSION var.
remember correctly (the Gentoo box is not up) and all I
do is startx and I
get xfce4. I've used xfce3 and 4 and it's an excellent
app. I used to use
KDE but dropped it. I find xfce does everything and is
very fast.
Seems to be fast. Not sure about "does everything" having
just come from
Gnome. Taking a little to get used to. It may end up
being too much like
CDE, an environment I hated, but giving it a shot. I
thought I had read
where it was easily scripted and modified but haven't
found that yet. On
the other hand, have just started to get using it so it's
early yet.
