This guide will introduce you to XFce, the popular (CDE-inspired in the past) Unix/X11 graphical environment, and it will give you pointers how to install it.

I will go on using Xfce 3 for my root session (yes, I use a GUI for my root session), as Xfce 4 does not have session management yet.
I installed the beta, though perhaps not the latest, but it's quite recent, as I bumped on the new dm scheme of gdm.
I cannot work without Session Management and virtual desktops anymore, that's why I can't use any desktop that do not support these.
So, no session management is a too big step backward for me.
Next, if the article was meant as a tutorial, it is soon to become obsolete, as the files describing a login session will soon be changed (actually, they are already if you use gdm for gnome 4), so that gdm and kdm will both use the same files (in /etc/dm if you leave the default).
These files are simpler anyway (can create one in seconds), but if you want custom apps launched at login prompt, you need to edit some other global config files, dependant on the login manager.
