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.
