Hello,
I really (2x) like the LXDE Fedora Spin, but I am annoyed by a
LXPanel bug, since I first installed the LXDE Spin, back in Fedora 13.
1. What Fedora spin is more popular in term of download: LXDE or XFCE,
and why?
2. Is the XFCE panel stable?
3. Is there much change from on DE to another one?
4. Can I install the software I like: PCManFM, Sylpheed, LXTerminal, etc
in a XFCE environment?
Thank you.

Have you reported the bug in the Fedora bug system?

Who knows, it's personal preference
2. Is the XFCE panel stable?
Well a lot of people use it.

You can install both environments on the same machine side by side and
switch between them to test them both for yourself. "yum groupinstall
xfce-desktop" will give you the defaults and you should be able to
then select the one you wish to use at the login prompt. Alternatively
you could test a live image.

Have you reported the bug in the Fedora bug system?
Yes, many (bugs related to the lxpanel)

Thanks peter,
I have installed the panel so far, I will give the full desktop a try.

Downloads form http://spins.fedoraproject.org/
#1 KDE 7573 Downloads
#2 XFCE 2792 Downloads
#3 LXDE 2709 Downloads
You see not much of a difference, I think it's just personal preference.
2. Is the XFCE panel stable?
Yes, nothing is as unstable as lxpanel-
3. Is there much change from on DE to another one?
You can configure the layout of xfce4-panel to look just like lxpanel.
Try yourself...
4. Can I install the software I like: PCManFM, Sylpheed, LXTerminal,
etc
in a XFCE environment?
Sure, but you hardly will need it as Xfce provides alternatives for most
of them
* lxterminal -> (Xfce) Terminal
* PCManfm -> Thunar
* Sylpheed -> Claws Mail, the bigger brother of Sylpheed.
But if you like you can install your favorite programs and configure
them in the Xfce control panel to be used as defaults.
Kind regards,
Christoph

Great. I could try the xfce control panel already.
Hello Christoph,
I am a little busy right now, there is some delay with my reply to the
lists. I have installed the xfce4-panel, and I will get back to you on
the readhat bugzilla report, beginning of next week.
Have a good weekend,
nomnex
