Yes, i like LXDE, too. It's run on my both machines

For eye-candy i use wbar, and for audio playing deadbeef or clementine. For my videos i use mplayer, and for my photos i think is shotwell the best choice...
I found xt7-player, is a gui for mplayer, with a lot of options, and functions. Hopeful Tex will add it soon...
bye
