XFCE switch proposal

[Domenico Giusti]

Hi all,

I'm using XFCE since 2 years ago on my Debian notebook and I
definitively like it and I do prefer it to Gnome3.

I'll build an ArcheOS ISO with XFCE on my desktop.

It's a light and fast DE, easy to customize, quite rich of core components.

Cheers,

Dome
