Nice review of XFCE4 over at OS News

Keep in mind that he likes the environment, but does point out a few areas 
that he feels need work.

I like everything except certain aspects of xffm, the file manager.  It has great SMB 
integration, but it is a bit slow and I would like to have a separate pane showing 
current location in tree view.  And it crashes on me while doing one particular task.
But it is way faster and stable than Nautilus.  Preview works without locking up the machine.
