This page contains various suggested applications for the Xfce desktop environment.
These applications do not require heavy dependencies and/or fit in the Xfce philosophy to be light on memory usage.
Remarks: Though the name tells it, none of TeX or Emacs is required to get it compiled and running. TeXmacs is self-contained but needs guile-gtk for the interface. TeXmacs is in the overworks, and much of the internas (switching to cairo, etc.) and interface will change in the near future.
