 All about Linux: Xfce 4.2 - A light weight window manager heavy in features.
Xfce was the only window manager bundled with it so I had no choice but to use it though my personal preference was Fluxbox.
In fact, in the developer's own words, the aim of Xfce is to be a simple, light and efficient environment which is easy to use and configure, stable, fast and at the same time visually appealing.
But what sets xfce apart is that it walks a fine line between keeping all the features that makes it a desktop and at the same time be sufficiently light weight.

So, I took a look at XFCE, which until a few days ago was included in Fedora Core (It was one of the things pushed from Core to extras for the next release).
XFCE 4.2 upgraded fine from the 4.0.6 version that was installed.
Switching to using it is pretty simple, you can choose xfce from the kdm/gdm menu or use switchdesk to change your default desktop to xfce and then you just login.

 WM/DE-04: XFCE - MandrivaUsers.org
Xfce, while not a replacement in all respects, is a worthy successor; it is much more modular and is quite zippy!
If you get a chance, thank him for his contribution! (Xfce used to be in the Mandrake main repository but, for some reason, is no longer.) See the RPM tutorial on this site for how to add a collection (like this one) to your urpmi database.
You'll get output from your X server and from Xfce, so not all is applicable (but that is a good way to debug your X output, if you haven't already!).

Xfwm4 is the Xfce window manager, Xfdesktop provides the menus created when clicking on the root window, and the Xfce panel provides the row of application launchers, menus, and other plugins available at the bottom of the screen.
The window manager in Xfce 4 is decended from the very light and simple Oroborus window manager, which, due to it’s small system resources and simple code base, has been the parent and grandparent of several window managers over the years.
I had trouble setting up xfce properly with the Autostart file, and that file gets mysteriously altered now and then, but generally xfce is very well behaved and it has not crashed yet (IceWM crashed maybe two times in three years of use, not bad).

An Xfce panel plug-in runs in the same space as the panel itself, sharing the same event loop, etc. That design saves memory, but expose the panel to all the bugs that could be found in the applets (in other words, if a plug- in crashes, the panel dies with it).
I guess one could write an Xfce panel plugin that could display GNOME panel applets, it should be doable although I did not look very hard into it.
Xfce is definitely closer to GNOME because of GTK+, but KDE has a very good window manager with kwin.

 :: News : Xfce : Xfce Installer Something To Be Proud Of
Cue the entrance of the os-cillation Xfce installer.
Some of you may see it as a simple way to install Xfce (which, until this installer was developed, was performed by compiling the source code from their site), but I see it as a brilliantly simple way to get almost any application packaged for Linux in a cross-distro capable format.
On my systems I already had Xfce (4.0) so I didn't need to really do anything extra to add it to my window manager, but it can easily be added to either GDM or KDM if this is a new installation for you.

Mousepad is a simple, fast and easy-to-use text editor for the Xfce desktop environment, based on the Leafpad text editor.
Terminal is a modern terminal emulator for the Unix/Linux desktop - primarly for the Xfce desktop environment.
It was developed because there was a need for a lightweight and easy to use terminal emulator in the Xfce desktop environment, that doesn't require the user to install the GNOME plattform, but still provides a worthy alternative to the GNOME terminal emulator.

 Xfce Diary
Xfce 4.4beta1 was finally released today with all the nice stuff (new panel, Mousepad, Orage, Thunar,...).
I just released Thunar-0.3.0beta1 and libexo-0.3.1.6beta1 as part of Xfce 4.4BETA1 (separate tarballs are provided for users of Xfce 4.2.x that don't want to upgrade yet, and users of other desktop environments).
As suggested by the name, it is a beta release and it is thereby considered to be more or less stable in what it does, but it is still not a final version.
