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.
