anyone using XFCE as a daily driver?

GNOME on the old Duron is crawling. Thinking about XFCE 4.2. Anyone use it full time? What do you miss?

Have done since spring. Thunar isn't in 4.2 so the file manager is xffm, which is ugly but works. Nothing else I miss.

Xubuntu is apparently going to be an official flavour for Dapper. Until then just apt-get install xfce4 on top of Breezy.

Turn off the compositor in xfwm4 if you switched it on for the shadows. Looks nice, eats a Duron alive.
