RE: [OT] Moving away from KDE to what?

["Wathen, Metherion" <mwathen@bsadesign.com>]

I'm in the process of compiling XFCE, in the hopes of replacing Gnome. Can
you provide any pointers, pitfalls to avoid, etc.
How much disk space does it require?
What if any problems have you had with it?
TIA,
mw.

I have been happily using GTK-based XFCE for a some time.
Although it is rather a desktop environment than a window
manager it is fairly fast and light-weight.
