No problem... actually, I also spent some time running KDE2 on my
box earlier, and compared to this, I see that XFCE even with GTK2
still is way more slim and more nice to my ressources. So probably
the only moment I'd find out that XFCE4 probably needs a little more
ressources is while looking at 'top', everything else works same as
good as on XFCE3 with GTK1.2. Seeing that, I am even having the
impression that Rox-Filer 1.3.x on top of GTK2 is faster than its
predecessor.

Definitely not. I really enjoy xfwm4 by now, and it even works well
on my girlfriends old P-166 machine w/ 49 meg RAM running Debian
sid. :) Btw, I also spent some time messing around with a
windowmanager named oroborus and the config file of xfwm4 sorta
reminds me of the .oroborusrc. Do those two have anything to do with
each other?

Cheers,
Kris
