Xfce It's been nearly 18 months since the last major Xfce release - Xfce 4.4, to be exact. Xfce 4.6 was supposed to go final this month, but the Xfce team didn't meet the deadline. Instead, they released the first alpha release of Xfce 4.6, and Phoronix summarises the most important changes, including a number of screenshots.

I was starting to worry about the project stalling! Looks to be a minor incremental improvement in terms of style/usability, but much better internals for configuration and such.

XFCE to me has definitely been a lightweight gnome-clone thus far. I've been hoping that in version 5 we'll see it really diverge from gnome and become much more of its own thing.

If you look at the threads for the previous version where many things were added to the desktop, people where worried about the reverse.
