No, I meant it from an aesthetical point of view only. Umm, where did
you get the idea that a WM controls the widgets on an application?
That's not true.

Because XFCE4 has XFFM built into it -- that's the file manager that is
used. Yes, you can use another one if you like, but that commonality
between applications will then be lost.

Yes, that's your right to do so.

Configuring that aspect is usually what makes the whole process fun,
IMO. I am curious though which WMs you feel were "lacking" in that
regard. I'd have said the issue isn't so much with the WM, as it might
have been with the application, for reasons I won't bore you with.
