Thanks Linda. I installed it yesterday, did what you said down there,
and tried it. I have to say, I do like it! At first I wasn't
so sure, but then I found that you can have the GNOME panel run, so I can
still run all my programs! Seems to be a nice window manager.
I'll try coping those, "sample config" files, would that, for example,
setup the GNOME panel by default or something? Well I guess I'll
see. thanks again,
-Brandon (maybe we could change the subject to xfce?)

Hi,
When you install it tells you I think the command is
xfce_setup.
You also will want to copy some of the sample config
files from
/var/XFCE to your home directory.
