Linux Mint is fabulous, you can't go wrong there .. but I'm running Ubuntu Studio with xfce.  Just because it says Ubuntu doesn't mean you can't install every single bloody wm thats available, which I have, and I'm running xfce4 just fine .. with the added advantage that I've got millions of plugins, softsynths, effects, all the Audio software available for Linux, and so on .. 

My advice - get Ubuntu Studio, it runs xfce out of the box.  It shouldn't give you any stress, in fact its such a bloody smooth experience I'm dumping MacOSX for good and moving over to UbuntuStudio12.10 as soon as my new laptop arrives ..
