What's wrong with installing xfce? It's only an apt-get away.

But I've grown use to Gnome apps and applets. I especially like the multi-tabbed terminal.

XFCE's terminal can do it too. And you can use Gnome applets.

Thanks! Good to know. I've used xfce some years ago.

You can use gnome-terminal within XFCE just the same as I can use xfce4-terminal from within GNOME.
