Re: [Trisquel-users] New to Trisquel - No Gnome panel

[mnaus]

I agree. Over the years, when I wanted a lightweight setup I would use  
fluxbox or even window maker. Whenever I tried XFCE certain things didn't  
seem to work and the whole thing just didn't seem worth it.  In desperation,  
during some test one day, after trying many other WMs, I tried XFCE and it  
solved my problem. Now I use XFCE4 on my desktop all the time and so far I  
find it to be quite robust and as of now I have no complaints.

Like root_vegetable, I immediately configured XFCE to look like GNOME  
classic.  There was this annoying thing about getting panel objects, like the  
clock, to stay all the way to the right.  Then I found out there was a trick  
involving using a separator, and again all is well in Denmark!
