Your XFCE desktop is customised to a degree that makes it difficult to make an evaluation, compounded by the small fonts making it difficult to see. I have installed XFCE on my 11.2 kde installation, and created a new user to look at it. The base setup looked fine and it is certainly worth looking at this further. Windowmaker didn't like at all. IceWM and Enlightenment not realy my cup of tea. Gnome I have on my second computer ( 11.2 version ) and this looks OK having got rid of the awful main menu. KDE is a second installation on my main computer and the less said the better. So when 11.3 is released I shall install, on separate partitions, LXDE, XFCE, and gnome and then spend some time customising them before I decide what will replace (if any) my 11.1 kde3 installation.
