Xfce's always been a little shaky, and more and more it seems to be
part of the new regime.

I use LXDE, which works identically every single time, has a very small
footprint, and is completely workable to anyone who could work win9x.

I don't know how LXDE compares to Mate, but I do know LXDE is
wonderful, svelte and easy, and should be considered any time a
replacement for Xfce is discussed.
