I had recommended XFCE4 to a guy on the RH listing that was stuck for a
WM solution that wasn't "over burdened" - and this was the ultimate
response, so I thought y'all would like to see this...

Well, I am the guy who started this thread. XFCE is EXACTLY what I wanted. What
I did was I re-installed RH9.0 with KDE and Gnome programs I like and after that
did all 11 XFCE rpms! XFCE has almost everything I need, other stuff is taken
from KDE and XFCE launches it for me. I can tell you that I have been looking
for this solution for a long time. XFCE install using RPMs was EASY!
All I need to do now is get Access97 (or 2000) going with Wine and teach people
to use OpenOffice and I will have my Dir. of Operations happy happy happy, plus
I won't have to worry about people wasting my time with numerous problems that
happen when your servers are Linux and workstations are Win98.
