Xfce XPde 0.3.5 has been released, which according to the site is a major upgrade to the XPde desktop environment and window manager. We reported on the (Pascal-written) XPde before (shots). On other X11 news, InterfaceWM 0.2.4 was recently released, XFCE 4 is getting closer to release (screenshots and one more), while the XWin.org team had another conference call last week.

Yes, but not anymore with xfce 4.0.

xfce 4.0 uses GTK >= 2.0 and compiles and work with latest GTK+-2.x CVS.

I guess you are talking about GTK themes. Yes, indeed, xfce 4.0 is based on GTK+-2.x and share all the GTK themes with GNOME.

It also comes with its own GTK engine, but you are free to use the one you want (or use xfce engine with GNOME)

Cheers,
Olivier.
