The RPMs are equally flexible. One simply uses the "rox" command to open 
a new file manager where and when needed. I'm actually using XFCE4 with 
ROX-Filer replacing its file manager, and that works very well indeed. I 
find it unfortunate that XFCE4 integrates its file manager in a way that 
doesn't seem easily removable (settings application, etc). Oh well.

ROX-Filer is also an excellent file manager for IceWM... at work we're 
using IceWM + ROX-Filer + Mozilla (Browser, Mail/News) + OpenOffice for 
our sales staff and its working well. I'm even becoming familiar enough 
with some of the software to be able to modify it a little - maybe 
submit some patches back once I can produce non-garbage code.
