This graph clearly shows a spike in xfce in the past month; while lxde is generally growing in use it has not had a similar sharp spike. http://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=xfce4+lxde-core&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 This graph puts the other in perspective; gnome is used by seven times as many users. There is an interesting drop at the end of this month however. http://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=xfce4+lxde-core+kde-standard+gnome-desktop-environment&show_installed=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 The other asonishing thing about this graph is that xfce has nearly reached the level of use of KDE4! With that said, KDE4 is also experiencing some growth lately. -- see shy jo
