| Summary : Lightweight desktop environment

Description :
XFce author (Olivier FOURDAN) says:
XFce is a lightweight desktop environment for various UNIX systems.
The XFce project was first started because I needed a simple, light and
efficient environment for my Linux System.
There are now a lot of good environments and interfaces for UNIX based
systems, but most are too heavy, or too expensive, or even both!
I wanted something easy to use and configure, stable, fast, and, at last
but not least, visually appealing...
I believe that the desktop environment should be made to increase user
productivity. Therefore, the goal is keep most system resources for the
applications, and not to consume all memory and CPU usage with the desktop
environment.
From version to version, XFce became more and more user friendly and easily
configurable. As XFce is made for the user, it has to be very simple to
configure. That\'s why everything is driven by the mouse, using buttons, drag
and drop, etc., and the configuration files are hidden from the user, although
it is plain text.
XFce 3 is based on GTK+, a free and powerful tool kit widely adopted by many
applications.
