XFCE 4.8

With all of the contention surrounding the GNOME 2.x EOL (and Unity/GNOME3 as replacements) I decided to finally test out XFCE 4.8 from the Dagda repos to see if it might work as my "next DE." It installed smoothly and offers a user experience similar to GNOME2. Five minutes of tweaking allowed me to have a very usable desktop. This all should be read as less of an endorsement and more of a "success story" for a currently available desktop alternative.
I am a translator!
If you are looking into DE alternatives, that are not too bloated, there is also razorqt.
How do you remove gnome from Trisquel and do you remove it at all?
I've tried razor-qt and it was decent but very bare. I might look at it again in a year or so.
I didn't try removing GNOME since there are quite a few GTK2 apps I'll (and most I would imagine) would still be needing in XFCE that might be broken in the process.

Can you write about your tweaking ? It will be very useful!
