I use several Xfce4 apps, not only the appfinder. I'm sick of using
Xfce, but some apps Xfce provides are amazing and I want Xfce just in
case, that JWM should fail. Btw. I guess I've Xfce4 installed for my
Debian too, but I never used it. I tested KDE4 on Debian and then
decided to use JWM.
For my Debian's JWM I'm using the KDE4 file manager, it does provide GUI
file browsing and a terminal emulation, that does follow the GUI file
browsing. Perhaps I'll replace Thunar by this KDE thingy for my Arch's
JWM too.
I don't care about HDD space, I only dislike DEs/WMs that need CPU/RAM
resources for stuff I don't need or that automagically do things I don't
want them to do and I'm sick of building Arch and Debian dummy packages,
to get rid of software I don't like, just because many packages of many
DEs come with grotesque hard dependencies.
