Wooh touchpad works!  Although the sensitivity is a bit low.
*NB: solved below.*

Wifi LED is on, whatever that means.

Brightness function keys do not work on the login screen.

Using default XFCE config to get four workspaces.

Brightness and sound function keys work! 🙌

Touchpad click and scroll do not work.
*NB: solved below.*

Wifi function key does not work.

Battery life seems somewhat shorter than with Bunsenlabs, even after
applying all powertop tricks in the book.

git greybird-gtk-theme elementary-xfce-icon-theme emacs

git suggests git-doc: why of course, good idea!

emacs suggests emacs-common-non-dfsg: right, what was that again?
Documentation, IIRC?  What does APT have to say?

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
$ apt show emacs-common-non-dfsg
Package: emacs-common-non-dfsg
State: not a real package (virtual)
N: Can't select candidate version from package emacs-common-non-dfsg as it has no candidate
N: Can't select versions from package 'emacs-common-non-dfsg' as it is purely virtual
N: No packages found
#+END_EXAMPLE

… What does https://packages.debian.org/emacs-common-non-dfsg say?

* tweak dotfiles
Set EMAIL in .profile; copy .profile to .xsessionrc (AFAICT XFCE does
not read ~/.config/environment.d) to get PATHs.

In .bashrc, enable globstar and autocd, uncomment grep and ls aliases,
source personal .bash_prompt.

Fun fact!  git can guess user.email from $EMAIL and user.name from the
[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecos_field][GECOS field]].

** Mouse and Touchpad
- Move sliders a bit to no avail, restore defaults.
- Google around.
- Why do my XFCE settings not have this "Touchpad" tab?
- apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
- Log out and in again.
- Woah the pointer is much faster now.
- And the "Touchpad" tab is here now!
🎉
** Panels
Remove bottom panel: I'd rather remember a few Super-… shortcuts to
launch these applications rather than waste all this vertical space.
** Appearance
*** Style
Greybird

Patch the xfwm-tabwin style to prevent the mouse from screwing with
Alt-Tab:

** lightdm
Debian [[https://wiki.debian.org/LightDM#Enable_user_list][hides the list of users]] on the login screen; Bunsenlabs [[https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-configs/blob/9.6-1/lightdm.conf.d/50_bunsen.conf][enables
it]] and I kind of like it (fewer keystrokes, and a cute avatar).
