</span>Ah! But E is a window manager while XFCE is a desktop/session manager.<br>
I run XFCE with E16 as my window manager. They're not at all<br>
incompatible and not particularly hard to switch to.<br>

Yes, you can run "pure E" as a desktop manager as well, but I do like<br>
having the panels ala GNOME < 3 and XFCE, while E gives me all the<br>
workspaces I want with as many viewports wide an high as I want while I<br>
still run XFCE and it's panels.</blockquote></div><br>E16 was merely a window manager (with extra features).
