xfce is so much nicer than KDE. I'm not switching back, ever. /n

I'm switching to xfce. KDE has been my desktop for several years now, but it's a bloated pig. On my 4 processor system it takes several seconds for the dock to respond to mouse clicks. /n

Just about ready to give up KDE in favor of xfce4. KDE is too slow and too big. It takes several seconds to respond to mouse clicks. Google isn't helping. /n
