Hmm, this is cool ... I always wanted to try out XFCE, but never got around to doing that. Maybe this is the time.

BTW, XFCE users, how lightweight is it, compared to, say IceWM? (which I am using now)

ujjwal bhai, Xfce4 is actually not lighter than IceWM on my machine, but its size/performance ratio is very commendable as it looks way better than IceWM. But i dont use it as such

This version has not been released on Debian for now so can't download it for some time.

I tried XFce 4.0 for my Debian Sarge and it looks cool. ANd I get nearly 1/2 of my memory free. I think after a few days, i will download the debian packages for XFce4.2 and install them.
And by the way, why there is no menu for applications like KDE or Gnome in XFce 4.0??
