How pathetic. How utterly pathetic.

If XFCE is better than Gnome then learn from them. Perhaps you've forgotten the
goal of a single desktop where all the apps work together be they gnome,
kde or other.

And yes on a low end box XFCE has Gnome completely and totally pasted. That
is a good thing because either Gnome has to get lighter or make a concious
decision that XFCE is the better choice for low end boxes and stop worrying
about being a bad desktop on slower boxes/handheld/pda devices and just get
on with being good at the high end
