Not the entire system, but certainly some parts that could be useful to
you.

Probably.

Ok, but what package did you use to install Xfce? See if installing
task-xfce-desktop helps.
Kind regards,

Holy cow Andrei, that package you told me to install, installed like a
ton of things that were not even in the iso I downloaded from
debian.org.
So far so good, going to go back and reinstall all the codecs for flash etc.
I went though and told synaptic to remove all apps I installed ( total
removal) and reinstalled them to be sure.
Evolution, Cairo dock, vlc, chromium,
but now I have two of some stuff.... Like 2 task managers, 2
screenshot apps, and they're the same both XFCE versions. its like
that task-xfce package doubled everything?

Oh I see what it did now, looks like it installed gnome3 under xfce
when I installed that package andrei told me to install. task-xfce4
something. I guess I am going to have to re install tonight.. :(
bummer
