Here here here! XFCE4 definitely deserves some hearty cheers! I've not
"fanatic" about a WM since the last release of Enlightenment (wow - now
quite some time ago) - and now it lives on all my *nix boxes - the ones
here at home, the servers my customers have - and I've turned on some
friends to it as well...

Now if we can only have T-Shirts signed by Olivier - THAT would be the
icing on the cake!

"XFCE4 or Die!" - nice grey-ish shirts, the XFCE mouse with a bandana
wrapped around his head, fist held up to the sky in a victorious
gesture...bold white letters...I'll take mine in medium, please...
