In fact, I find my self using more and more stuff in xterms and
if it wasn't for having to do real work (book-keeping in gnucash)
I'd likely not be running X hardly at all.

That's, though, why I switched from GNOME to XFce4. So much of what
I do is in rxvt that while I find very useful the ability to create
bunches of xterms, I don't need the bloat of GNOME.

I've wanted to try xfce, but not enough to compile it myself, and I haven't
been able to figure out which combinations of packages make an xfce
environment. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious?
