Wow. Thank you. I was hesitant to try KDE after reading about 4.x,

XFCE has brought most of the snappiness back to my machine.
There's an old trick that most of the early window managers used that I
hadn't seen in years until I tried XFCE: the context menu you get when
you right-click on the desktop contains your complete main menu,
including Preferences and Administration. No more need to go over to
the panel to launch a program or control panel, just right-click
wherever your mouse happens to be. Lack of it isn't a show-stopper, of
course, but once you get used to it, it's very convenient. I mention it
mostly because you may not have found it yet.
