HP developed a set of Linux thin clients about 2 years ago. The
default desktop on those is indeed Xfce. Though they're packing on the
high end model at least good old fashioned Debian, easy to swap
desktops in that case.

Xfce is a good choice for modern thin clients, especially since those
clients aren't very thin anymore. Xfce doesn't have to slim down to
offer them a nice desktop that fits easily into their memory
constraints.
