Yeah.. I'm not a fan of gnome either.
I had XFCE during the lifetime of my C6 Install, and now have XFCE on
my C7 install.
I know XFCE isn't exactly very "modern" or "hip" "cool" etc. But it
does the job, and works for me :). I like it.
I had issues getting the sort order of my 3 monitors correct, the
third monitor would overlap onto the second monitor and the first
monitor was detected to be in position 2, so the mouse had to go the
other way to reach it.
(Basically, all wrong)
I resolved all display issues using the following method on C6:
1) Install LightDM
2) Set LightDM as default display manager
3) Remove any "display" configuration set by Gnome/XFCE.. in case of
XFCE remove ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/display.xml
I'm sure gnome has a similar file around somewhere.
4) Reboot
5) Done, you should now be using xorg.conf only.
Hope this helps :-).
