I second that. I've been using XFCE since 4.0 on Slackware. I've spent 
quite some time configuring an XFCE-based desktop which could be a 
complete replacement for, say, Windows XP or Mac OS X. Now here's what 
my somewhat customized XFCE looks like:

This is the standard desktop I've installed in our public libraries, and 
so far, folks have adopted it. After logging in, the desktop launches 
and consumes no more than 57 MB RAM (compare: over 600 MB for Windows 
Vista :oD).

The only thing I painfully miss is a burning app in replacement for K3B.

Cheers,

Niki
