Another low overhead, lightweight, reliable, customizeable window manager is FLUXBOX (which is also a derivative of BLACK BOX). <a href="http://www.fluxbox.org/" title="fluxbox.org">http://www.fluxbox.org/</a fluxbox.org> Gnome and KDE are the EMACS of window managers expanding until they can do email or consume all available system resources - which ever happens first. FLUXBOX is the vi of window managers - lean and focused on doing one job and doing it well and will run just fine on a *NIX systems that are not fitted with gobs (well gigs) of ram - it runs fine in 256K - try that with GNOME or KDE.
