Hi Damian.


For me this is fluxbox, using idesk for the icons (well, in my case
'icon' as I have only one :) )

I use thunar for my filemanager - I have yet to find another filemanager
with the same multiple rename capabilities that is as fast and easy to
use. (fairly high praise actually, from a former konqueror addict)
That element of XFCE is top dollar.
Now, if only I could work out how to set up single-click activation on
an XFCE desktop I might even be convinced to try it again. :)
