Tried this out (SFS version, to be specific) in Upup Precise 3992. Here's my opinion: this is NOT worthy of "Alpha" status.
Try "Beta" instead
Things that need attention...
(1) the Applications menu is a bit of a mess. 90% of the applications wind up in "Other".
(2) right-click menu ("Context Menu") does nothing on the desktop, despite appropriate options being enabled, such that it should be present.
(3) Logout button -> "shutdown" pops up an error message, then dumps to the terminal, where one must type poweroff [ENTER] to actually shut down.
Other than that, it's working very well! Unlike the other XFCE4 SFS I was trying to use, this one is themable, and I can change wallpaper and icons!

So it's a hybrid.. I was thinking full window manager. Still, mod'n the menus shouldn't be rocket science.
Other? Yeah, I see what you mean. The adjustment's here somewhere..
Besides Menu Edit, refer to this guy >> https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
Rt-clk desktop = settings manager >> desktop >> icons >> icon type = file/launcher icons.

Would be wonderful if I could figure out how to tell XFCE to use the JWM/Puppy menu structure instead of that mess... but I'm not sure how to do it
EDIT: this will be on hold for at least a week. need to get a power supply that will let me run fans on this system (motherboard is 5v only, most PC fans are 12v) so I don't feel bad running it for more than fifteen minutes at a time...
