Hi! I was curious why Debian Edu didn't support an XFCE desktop. I certainly like it - I think it is functional and simple, yet lightweight - and if this graph is correct it would seem to be close to KDE4 in popularity now:

I recall a couple of things were changed recently in tasksel for XFCE: * network-manager-gnome, instead of wicd * post-wheezy: evince-gtk, instead of epdfview I think the xfce4-goodies are worth having, for a more 'complete' desktop environment, at the expense of ~40 MiB uncompressed (unless you are *really* constrained for space). Some of tasksel's Recommends for xfce would be already included by the xfce4-goodies metapackage (xfce4-terminal, mousepad) or the xfce4 core package (xfce4-mixer, orage). Other XFCE- or GTK2-specific packages currently recommended by tasksel are: xfprint4, system-config-printer, xfce4-power-manager, libreoffice-gtk, tango-icon-theme, dbus-x11: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=tasksel/tasksel.git;a=blob;f=debian/control;h=628f47da9db203f22a39a90c905d0a2485df7e00;hb=d481e5b565b8454f442ced4f7ff48f4502881ed2#l201 The rest is probably covered by generic Debian Edu desktop tasks.
