I have long been a KDE fan. When I started with Suse, I used KDE. I moved the Arch, I used KDEmod. Until today.
I updated to KDEmod 4.1 a week ago. I have nothing 'bad' to say about KDE 4, except that I don't like it. No single reason why, just don't.
Gnome? Huh? Never liked it either. Don't know why.
Enter XFCE4. Even with Compiz, my system is faster than it ever was with KDE 3. So far, I've managed to find everything, get functional apps working. I'm even to the point that I uninstalled KDE. There are a couple KDE apps I'll have around. K3B & KMyMoney for instance.
XFCE isn't as pretty, yet. With time that will come along as I get it where I want it. I'll keep following KDE, and perhaps try 4.2 or 5.0
Gotta love that rodent!

xfce is a great DE. Used it for a long time.
Don't know why I switcht to kde though... I like the kde4.1 release. :-)

We are in the same boat, although for different reasons.
I suggest you look here:

Well, at least I'm not the only one...

I used XFCE on Fedora for almost the whole time I used Fedora. (About half a year).
For me, it always seemed that XFCE was a little harder to customize, and half the icons I installed never worked right for some reason.
It does look better when you can get that colored area around the icontext to be 100% transparent, though.
i don't know you that well.

How do you get this to work?

If you're using Compiz, just install Emerald and grab one of the excellent themes made for that.
