Changing default session in XFCE (to Gnome or LXDE)
Hello,
I have got Ubuntu with Xfce installed, and I would like to change default session to Gnome, or LXDE (depending on if my computer would run it properly). Looks like there is no options button while logging in, or anything similar. Thanks.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Gnome, and plan to install Xfce to see if it makes the machine run faster. How was your experience with Xfce?
For me, Xfce was really fast, responsible, and reliable. It also looks like it has much simpler architecture than larger desktop environments - so it's easier to manage and there's lesser probability that something will fail.
However, what I didn't like about it was, that it misses some main keyboard shortcuts which I got used to with Gnome. I don't remember exact shortcuts, but there was a bunch of them.
