Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for unix-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use.

Xfce 4.6.1

== Installation ==

To install Xfce including its dependencies (like GTK+), use:

{{{
sudo port install xfce
}}}

To make Xfce start when X11 is started, add it to your config (make sure you don't have a ~/.xinitrc file):

{{{
echo "exec startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc.d/99-xfce.sh
chmod 755 ~/.xinitrc.d/99-xfce.sh
}}}

Users of the old X11.app from Tiger will need to do this instead:
{{{
echo "exec startxfce4" > ~/.xinitrc
}}}
 

This works and looks best when running X11 in full screen mode.
