Dunno, I'm using the Xfce DE.  I wasn't trying to be picky, I just
needed something that wouldn't control me the way Mint was beginning to
do.  No hard feelings toward Mint, though, it's a great distro for what
it is, but I'm happier without it, now.

I've got that on my work Debian box. It's okay. I'd prefer the taskbar on
the bottom. I'm sure it can be done but as I said I pretty much roll with
whatever comes out of the box, unless it's something with a dark theme.

You can move the taskbar, add and remove items from it. Tons o' options.

When I use Xfce (e.g. until I get Fluxbox installed after figuring out issues,
rare, but it has happened) I configure it to be about 90% identical to my
Fluxbox setup. Especially the keystrokes. For window movement, you can even
replace the arrow keys with good ol' hjkl.

Xfce does have a couple things that bug me (e.g. moving a vertically-maximized
window unmaximizes it).

The thing I like about Fluxbox is that most of the configuration involves
text files.  Xfce does have text files, but they are XML. Ugh.
