>TL,DR: Any demand for/objections to me putting Xfce back into the 
book? Andy
I'd love to see it in there, personally.  It's nice to have alternatives 
to Gnome/KDE, especially for people who are wanting a minimal GUI for a 
server.  I tried to get Metacity working following the BLFS directions, 
with little success, but I was able to get fluxbox working with 
instructions from another location, and by copying some of the setup 
from RIPLinux.

incidentally, I highly recommend Fluxbox as a lightweight WM with a lot 
of potential, and it would be nice to see it included as an option in 
BLFS.  I wouldn't mind seeing Metacity dropped--since it's so wrapped up 
in Gnome, by the time you've got all the dependencies satisfied, you're 
well on the way to installing Gnome anyway, and the project seems to be 
adrift since being cut loose from Gnome, but that might just be residual 
bitterness that I was unable to get it to work.
