Are there any other configuration parameters that can be tweaked in my

Hit <ctrl><alt><F1> :-)

I do as much as I can via the text console. For graphical apps I
personally use XFCE, with the XFCE panel disabled. When I first log in
I just right click on the desktop, start an XFCE terminal session, then
hit F11 to switch the terminal session to full screen mode, which fills
the screen without window decorations. I have the terminal session
background set to transparent, so I can see my wallpaper underneath.
From the terminal session I can launch any programs I need via the
command line. I run most programs maximized and can easily switch
between them with <alt><tab>, or is that <meta><tab>.

Then why use XFCE?
