    Switching to xfce

    Right now I have Gnome, but i'd like to switch to xfce. I already have it installed and everything runs fine, except emerald and compiz. How can I switch these over to xfce?

    The whole point of xfce is to have a light weight window manager.
    I did it once and and i wouldn't recommend it , they just dont
    go well together.

    In the Xfce menu, go to Settings | Advanced Desktop Settings. This should take you to the Compiz settings manager.
