Not.

GNOME classic means I have to go do configuration on all the boxes, whereas switching to XFCE is simply apt-get install xfce4.

This doesn't make sense.
Since you are apparently using Debian, just select the "GNOME Classic" session in your display manager and you're done. No configuration required.

Hmm, OK. Didn't know that.

However, I think XFCE has more of a future than GNOME Classic and I don't want to have to force my users to change again in a year or two's time.
