My boss prefers xfce for its simplicity, and I can't argue with that.  What I 
can argue with is that there are just so many things it doesn't do.  In 
xubuntu, this seems to be handled by calling a gnome app for certain gui task 
not possible with the xfce apps.  But if you are going to load the gtk/gnome 
libs, why not just use gnome?

I don't remember how difficult it is to edit the xfce menus, but you can 
always create the wine menu.  The launch syntax is usually 'wine 
~/.wine/path/app.exe'
