Set an environment variable BROWSER=yourfavoriteone since xfce uses $BROWSER 
to figure out which browser to use.  The panel icons default to things like 
netscape but netscape isn't installed by xfce.  I changed the icons.

I'm not sure about the no borders.  All mine have them.  You might check the 
settings panel and see if you can find a setting.

The file manage in xfce4  does take a little getting used to but it does 
support samba since it includes the samba network in the folders list.
