Installing Xfce 4.2

Just got xfce running on Cygwin
I installed XFCE 4.2 on Ubuntu Warty and it crashed after using it for a few minutes. After that, parts of it wouldn't load, such as the background and the right click menu. I just uninstalled it. I think it is Ubuntu, not XFCE, cause not many people have complained about it. Oh well, maybe I'll try it again with the next Ubuntu or XFCE release, whichever comes first.
I've used it before under Fedora -- it was pretty darn stable...

change file /etc/apt/sources.list on your system:
deb http://www.os-works.com/debian testing main deb-src http://www.os-works.com/debian testing main
apt-get update apt-get install -t testing xfld-desktop cp /usr/share/xsessions/xfce4.desktop /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/
Voila! Full XFCE 4.2 w/ Rox and media player in just about 2 minutes.

XFce takes flight very quickly and is so lightweight, simple (And, I hate to say it, but ... CDE like) -- just plain cool.
