I still mess with KDE4 a bit but really the simpler interfaces do everything I want. LXDE is great in that regard - works great on low power hardware and still offers a pretty intuitive interface, virtual desktops, an Alt-F2 run interface, and a file manager (PCman or Thunar), both of which work perfectly well. I struggle to discren what else the fuller desktops offer by way of benefit above that. This guy Lunduke is an ass-clown.
