All GTK dependent DEs have their drawbacks. Xfce still is and will be my
DE for a while, but I'm already testing Razor-Qt. It's not that good at
the moment, but since LXDE is similar ok as Xfce is, it might be
interesting to wait for LXDE-Qt. IIUC the Razor-Qt and LXDE folks work
together on LXDE-Qt. Perhaps LXDE-Qt would be a better choice as a
default DE for Debian and some other distros.
