For example, look at the border of the status bar in firefox. In
gnome, it's very "smooth", while in xfce it's almost just a black
line. In xfce it's a lot "stronger" or "bolder" than in gnome.
Same goes for the menu, toolbars, address bar and search bar in
firefox, and the "talk" edit box, topic edit box, "channel view", etc
in xchat.
Btw, you may have to scroll to see the apps as run in xfce, because
the screenshot is very big.

And keep in mind that this didn't only happen in xfce, it did also
happen in fluxbox.
