Ever since I switched to xfce, I've got some really annoying bugs too:

* Key bindings for switching keyboard layouts don't persist, I have to reconfigure them every time I reboot or X restarts

* Auto-suspend when lid is closed no longer works reliably. I sometimes find a really hot laptop in my bag after a while.

That said, XFce is much nicer than Unity.



It is, no doubt but it's not really something you can switch to to get your gnome2 back.

If I had more free time I would love to contribute to something like Xfce (or E17) and turn them into a first class Desktop Environment.


That's the spirit. I suspect that the XFCE project will get far more support now if only from individuals scratching their itches.
