I appreciate any suggestion.I like a lot Gnome's interface and I  'll 
try to use it (it is still usable) .
The computer is my secondary one, used by my father.I's like Zero cost 
junk's repository =).
I have to wait some friend to broke something or give me  a free memory 
stick!=)


I have read that Xfce can work with GNome's software by open Gnome's 
like windows.
My question:

If Xfce has to call Gnome's libraries to work with a particular 
software...How can Xfce be smaller of Gnome's alone??


I'm very courious about this issue..
