However, you don't have to install all the xfce modules that make it a
desktop environment. From what I've found, you need xfce4 session
manager since it is responsibile for starting all the components you
use, but, for example, on the box where I have it, I don't have the
desktop icons thiny or thunar installed. For filemanager I generally
use mc but since my browser is Konquorer, it functions as a graphical
file manager when I need that.
