I think this is very good to be so configurable, I like this :)

Also, Klaus Ethgen, I am totally agree with you about blacklisted DE.
Only I should think what my DE does, not DE thinks what and how I do. And I
can make fvwm to do what I want, of course :)

Thank you for idea, I think I should try them and understand if they are
comfortable for me.

I chose Xfce more than 10 years ago, when it was 3.8, that time I was
searching lightweight DE and found it (also it's like CDE). A lot of my
*nix friends were using "two blacklisted DE" that time.

And also I should say respects to XFCE, it didn't became so huge and resourse
leaking as they.
