well, this isn't a watercooler, nor is it a general interest list.  as 
nestu pointed out, it _has_ gone on for too long, and seems to have 
degenerated into a "i've used xfce with distro XYZ and it is good" 
discussion, which, while appreciated, isn't all that useful.

xfce is distro-neutral, and, when compared to gnome or KDE, is 
trivially easy to install and/or package.  if a particular distro "isn't 
good" for xfce, then they have a severely braindead packaging system.

please consider this thread closed.  if you'd like to discuss this issue 
with me further or complain about what i've written, please do so 
off-list.
