I had a pretty bad experience with the XPde 0.5.1. Most of the menu entries are not working,Cant even open the terminal and once it is installed I found it difficult to remove. . Surely your Cafe friend will not be happy with it. So I would recommend you should stick to standard desktop environments like Gnome, Kde or xfce. But if you are only interested in title bars and buttons, you can go for xp like themes. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ "Freedom is the only law".
