I spend a lot of time in emacs.However, strangely, during my brief exposure to the latest, default Gnome desktop in Ubuntu I had no idea, whatsoever, that there were keyboard shortcuts available to me. How could I know that?The same way you find instructions for any system or application. Look in the manual. There's a pretty decent help application for Gnome and for a new user, there's a brief introductory app that starts the first time they login.
Fair enough.But it was easier for me to use XFCE right off the bat, it wasn't necessary to find its documentation and read XFCE's manual. I don't think there is one, actually.
Someone who's already used traditional desktop environments, with desktop shortcut icons, a taskbar (on top or the bottom), with something that looks like a "Start" menu, a tray, a pager, and a few other familiar UI icons – someone like that should be able to hit the ground running with XFCE.
