I’d also be very interested in hearing about what recent received wisdom is on this front.

Xubuntu was most promising, but just doesn't work very well (panel disappears, or meta-key is intercepted such that Win-1 or Win-Shift-Return are typed into the highlighted app or ignored). I am reading a hodge-podge of different config tutorials focusing on an assortment of versions. I have not come across an installation/config wiki page that seemed relevant and up to date.

I like the idea of Xfce because it's light weight and easy. Gnome2 fallback is fine too. I expected Mate would 'just work'.
