Yes. I downloaded and installed xfe, (admittedly, this was for my
Ubuntu 13.10 box) and what I found is it doesn't show mountable drives
like Thunar does, so you can't mount an arbitrary device from xfe.
Also, my xfe installation dumps core with an "illegal window parameter"
when you right click on anything and pick "properties".
Other than those two things, xfe looks like an excellent file manager.
