LXDE Vs XFCE
They are not window managers are desktop environments, light, though. Both have good integration with gtk for drawing a graphical interface, which brings the advantage that most programs use this (without underestimating Qt is also very good). Xfwm uses Xfce as windows manager and LXDE, Openbox. In both the desktop can be configured so that pressing the right button on the desk, exit the menu. In both also, you can use the keyboard shortcut Alt + F2 (actually in most desktop environments if configured) and call from there to any application (and even dashboards desktop environments). LXDE usa Pcmanfm como gestor de archivos y Xfce usa Thunar . LXDE uses PCManFM as file manager and uses Xfce Thunar.
LXDE is prettier than Xfce, Openbox merit, the window manager you use. Not only that, but also you can use in older machines. Xfce needs gtk-engines-xfce to use gtk themes, I think LXDE does not need that. There are very few units and components can be used independently, which is a big advantage if you want to try, go ahead and install them a few things and go. It's quick and easy to use, besides being adjusted to the standards of freedesktop.org
XFCE many say that is ugly, has compositing, this is the transparencies. In addition, there are many issues xfwm, the window manager, which also allows rolling the windows among other things. Do you have multiple monitors? Xfce is the best support Xinerama. It is comfortable and pleasant to use, with tools like xfce-settings-show, xfce4-appfinder, xfce-MenuEditor. It's fast, very stable and easy to use.
