Xfce 4.2.0

Hey folks,

I just wanted to report that the Debian packages available for the new
Xfce 4.2.0 work perfectly in Ubuntu (Hoary in my case).

It's REALLY fast, and renders fonts quite different than Gnome. (This
is a touchy subject, so I won't comment whether it's better or not.
:o)

I did the "pinning" thing they mention, but I don't think it's
actually needed. I also opted to install the whole desktop
meta-package.

This would be a great alternative for lower-end machines. If it'll
compile on PPC, I'm going to try to breathe new life into my aging
333Mhz iMac.
