Felipe,
I think LXDE should be given a bit more time to mature.  It's still very 
new and not without some bugs.  I've tested on another machine, but run 
into enough bugs to decline using it all the time.  There are parts, 
like pcmanfm, now being regularly maintained for ZW that work great 
though and even if LXDE doesn't make it quite yet, I'm hoping the 
developers will consider using pcmanfm over Thunar!

All in all, I think, as Michael pointed out, lots of stuff going on 
right now, so as it becomes available, chatter will certainly increase!  
I'm looking forward to the new xorg and I believe JP is working 
tirelessly on the new 2.6.26 kernel!  For all the people that have not 
yet experienced Zenwalk, I feel sorry for them.  They just don't know 
what they are missing!  ;-)
