The rest is all fluff. (but I confess that I use fvwm).
There's a lot of window managers out there that don't have the bloat
problems of Gnome and KDE. I like WindowMaker, but you can get
AfterStep, fluxbox, icewm, etc.; there's tons available out of the box
on most distros. The only way to win the "Desktop Envoronment" game is
not to play :-)
So what does real unix use for a GUI?
