Thanks for the ping. I've been using Xfce4 for several months now. I used to use KDE exclusively, but I found I wasn't using the full functionality, so I started looking for a lighter-weight desktop. I experiemented with Fluxbox for a while, but found it kinda klunky to use.

Xfce4 manages a good balance between functionality and bloat. Also, it uses (or can use) a lot of KDE's widgets, so the ones I was using I can still use.

I agree with both of you that Gnome just seems weird. I've never figured out why I don't like--I just don't.
