I tried Fluxbox and it was fast but it lacked features that I missed.
XFCE works great for me.

An interesting little "problem" is that the transparency for the terminal
window shows the background for the login screen. I could just be using the
wrong terminal.
I would have tried Parabola but I got a boot error using the usb install.
Another important issue is that I need the same option to install "alongside
Windows" if I do decide to burn a dvd and do a net install of Trisuel or
Parabola.
