I don't expect it to be the same. I've got it on my laptop, right now,
and there's a few things that don't seem to work under XFCE that did
under Gnome, but none of them are deal breakers. As an example, under
Gnome, I could use wallpapoz to get my wallpaper changing at random
every five minutes, but so far, it doesn't do anything under XFCE. (The
daemon runs, it just doesn't have any effect.) And, one or two of my
startup programs don't always come up when I log in, but starting them
isn't exactly a big deal. It runs smooth and snappy on a 2Gig dual core
machine with 3Gig RAM and will probably run better than Gnome on my
1.8Gig single-core desktop maxed out at 1Gig RAM.
BTW, am I the only one who's beginning to think that Gnome 3 was
obviously designed *for* morons, not *by* them?
