From time to time I try switching to something else, but until now I found nothing that is as light, flexible and powerful as XFCE. By some unknown reason the 4.6 version takes an incredible amount of time to start from time to time, but I solved it by adding 'rm -rf $HOME/.cache/sessions' to my .xsession file. And there is http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4875 bug which I found a workaround for. Besides those points, I have absolutely nothing to complain about it!</p> <p>I tried compiling chromium too, but it requires around 10GB of disk space to compile everything.. and takes an eternity. I could not finish the compilation as I run our of free disk space (and of patience :) ).</p> <p>But the binaries from google worked fine for me, and they are updated daily. The only issue I had was with their strange libraries the chrome binary is linked against - libnspr4.so.0d, libplc4.so.0d, libplds4.so.0d, libssl3.so.1d, libsmime3.so.1d, libnssutil3.so.1d and libnss3.so.1d. Symlinking them agains Mandriva's libraries did the trick.</p> Yep, I am using XFCE since around 3.0 :) .
