Mr. Noob here (you know the guy that started this thread ;-) -- all good
info I'm seeing.  Glad we have a few different (possibly complementary
and contrasting) viewpoints.

Don't know a thing about Thunar.  So any documentation, recommended,
practices, etc... for XFCE 4.2[.3] (if an option) would be ideal.

Same deal about running GNOME/Utopia components under XFCE 4.2[.3]
without launching full-up GNOME.  Again, docs, recommendations, etc...
always welcome.

If you're running Fedora Core, such info would be even better!  But if
not, I can find my way based on what you did for another distro (and see
what Fedora has and has not, does and does not, out-of-the-box).  Just
looking for people pointing fingers -- even about a couple different
solutions.

Thanx!
