Some window managers blur the lines a bit anyway by including menus or
panels etc that you can't get rid of. Xfce is very modular so you can
just run the window manager (xfwm4) or you could run the window manager
and the xfdesttop (for the root screen and the menu when you right click
on the root screen) or you could run the panel as well as xfwm4 etc.
