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.
I certainly hadn't. Mind you, I haven't seen my desktop for years. I
suppose it must be under there somewhere...
