Enjoy it. It's great. You can run most KDE programs and
all (I think) Gnome programs in XFCE.
A free tip: if you want to have some things autostart when
you startx and the window manager, then do this. There is a
dotfile called .xfwm-session that records everything that's
running when you log out, and starts them up next time. As
a one-time deal, have everything running you want to
autostart, then select "Quit" on the XFCE panel. On a
console command line type "cp .xfwm-session
.xfwm-session.d" -- the second filename can be anything you
want with a dot in front. Then in your .xinitrc the line to
start the window manager would be:
exec xfwm -restore .xfwm-session.d
Of course, YMMV if you use kdm to log on. I always start X
from the console, because it's easier to have things the way
you want that way (IMO).
