XFCE dates to February 1997.

CDE as a Linux desktop dates to June 1997, with the release of the proprietary TriTeal CDE for RedHat.

Ah, fair - can't count it as a Linux desktop when living elsewhere

It's an interesting distinction I suppose. CDE has served longer as a desktop, just not for Linux
