Over at Blastwave I just spent two weeks testing the new Xfce 4.2.3 :

I threw everything from soup to nuts at it and it runs real nice
on top of Solaris.
Of course people can have full blown KDE or GNOME or we have a new build of
fluxbox just released also and thats a hot looking desktop.
Or gee, there is JDS and even .. yes ,, you guessed it .. CDE !
