I think security issues are of the prime importance. If someone wants
not to use SELINUX, its their choice. But having something as
important as the desktop manager on the default spin that doesn't play
well with SELINUX is not a good option in my opinion.

I think use of XFCE is rather common on mobile platforms like laptops
and netbooks. These are also the platforms which get used in a dual
display configuration rather often (presentations or work with
external monitors at work). FWIW, I use XFCE on my primary desktop and
workstation too and they are all dual screens.
Like I stated about SELinux it is nice and I appreciate and understand
why its there and its importance and I am a very big proponent of
security however I was simply stating it is occasionally an annoyance
for me but its just the way it has to be.
I do realize Xfce is a popular choice for mobile platforms, and I am
not saying that it isn't important to include that feature, I was just
stating that LXDM and the other components of LXDE have a disclaimer
with them that they are NOT feature rich compared to other DEs.
