Hi,
The popular desktops KDE and Gnome available on Linux are slow to load on any Linux distribution. I have only 128 Mb RAM, therefore, I decided to switch to XFCE desktop. After login the XFCE desktop loads within 10 seconds. The applications also load faster.
I use more than one keyboard layout. I could add the keyboard layout switcher to the panel but found only the default keyboard layout, although, I had alreadt added another keyboard layout while working in Gnome. After searching I found the answer on XFCE Wiki under Tips, Tricks and Howtos.
There are so many plugins on Xfce Goodies
I added laptop battery monitor and weather update to my desktop.
Xfce is really a light feature rich desktop.

Hello zenwalker
Thanks for the comment.
I could not see your profile. This is an old post on my Blog. I have tried Zenwalk since then and found it faster then Xubuntu.
