My existing musicbox (running an older versin of ArtistX) uses LXDE. My server

noticed that a number of KDE4 and GNOME3 have become quite hefty, and music
distros seem to be dropping them.
Maybe, hum, Linux is a reflect of the society we are living in : more and more
for the eye candy, less to peoples' needs ?
Some like their eye candy, and luckily for them some are willing to provide it.
But Linux offers choices - XFCE and others are there for those of us who prefer
that way of working.
And it looks to me like GNOME is trying to cater for the touch-screen side of
things ... a phone or small tablet certainly needs an interface that can be used
efficiently without a keyboard, on a small screen and with a finger as the only
pointer. That would take a lot of customising, and a lot of work by the user, in
XFCE or any other keyboard-oriented desktop environment.
