I like xfce4 because it is lighter than GNOME and yet has almost as many features.
I used the netinstall CD to install a Debian desktop, and it gave me GNOME. No problem, I installed the xfce4 meta-package. What is strange is how much of GNOME is still present in Xfce4. For example, the launcher to start a graphical terminal emulator starts gnome-terminal. Even the command xfterm4 starts gnome-terminal for some reason I cannot fathom. What I want to hopefully do is remove as much of GNOME as possible, and have an independent xfce4 desktop instead of this bizarre amalgam. However, I would like to keep the convenient system configuration tools (like power management, etc) that GNOME offers but Xfce4 lacks. Is there any simple, _clean_ way to do this? The cleanest way I can think of is to reinstall using the Debian xfce4 iso and add the gnome utilities one by one, but that would be a real hassle, involving downloading and burning an iso and going through the whole install process all over.
