The other 'medium-weight' DE to Xfce is LXDE/Openbox, which I slightly
prefer, but which has been a little flaky of late, though that is on
sid. I need to shut down from a terminal, as lxsession currently throws
a GTK exception at a shutdown attempt.
It's also a bit of a pain to make the Debian menu tree work in LXDE, but
many people aren't bothered about that. I have it working on my
desktop, but I can't seem to get it on another sid LXDE installation,
and I can't for the life of me see what is different about it. But I
came from Gnome2, and LXDE feels more comfortable than Xfce.
