also for the old computer i would recommend xfce or, since
you say they only need a few programs, you could go with
just Xorg + feh for the background + xfwm or openbox + a
light taskbar and a nice dock-bar (wbar or simdock) were
you will only put the applications they need to run.
An alternative would be IcecWM: Easily configurable menu,
good window managing, no bloat. But I can second XFCE,
too. Maybe you want to run XFCE 3 which has some look &
feel of CDE, is easily configurable and very fast. (I
use it on a 300 MHz P2 with similar requirements as you
mentioned, but without any "Flash").
There's a nice dock-like application for X which is used
by the FreeSBIE live system CD. I've got no FreeSBIE at
hand, nor can I remember the application's name, but I
think this would be interesting to you, too.
Like Poly I too use XFCE 3 on all my FreeBSD desktops. Its light and
fast and anyone can learn it quickly.
I have Gnome on a Linux HP netbook and it is a lot slower.
