Apparently I’m quite stubborn when it comes to important change on my desktop. It took me months to switch to Gentoo after Michael said it kicked ass. It’s taken me a little while to try out the xfce4 window manager, despite Michael raving about how cool it is. I think I just don’t want to waste my time with disappointment if things don’t work the way I want them to. My buddy b2s from #13thHour said that he recommended it a couple months back.
Well they were absolutely right, it kicks ass. I haven’t fallen in love with a window manager this quickly since Enlightenment. I’ve always used enlightenment on my primary workstation, maybe it’s time for a change.
Oh, and it has a cute mouse mascot.
I still have some xfce4 customizing to do, but here’s a screenshot of how much I’ve played so far:

Now to work on keybindings…
And a quick note, if you want to try this out make sure you’re going with xfce4. I accidentally installed the regular xfce package in gentoo earlier and it was a pretty horrible window manager…
