Cool! I'll download then now and them out!

Just out of morbid curiosity, what is your definition of
"...integrating with everything"? 

I probably would have had less enthusiasm for XFce-4 if I couldn't have
used a right-click menu building program like MenuMaker to give me all
that was on my system. I find it refreshing to have a minimal menu panel
for the everyday, commonly accessed stuff, but I couldn't accept not
having click access to the menu system that KDE generated for me when
I was entrenched in it before. Does that qualify me as a wimp, too? :0)

The other things that you might be talking about...well, if I can find
ways to get what I can't give up, I'll be OK. :0)

Jack Coates had posted his positive comments on improvements in RC4 over
RC3, so I think it'll be worth my moving up. I must

Thanks again, Todd.
