This is true; poor phrasing on my part. I assumed one would
want to get online.

No, it does not. And upon invoking Arachne in X windows, it
appears to exit the X system. Upon exiting Arachne, X comes back
saying "[svgalib: allocated virtual console #8]".

Icewm (v. 0.9.12) only uses 209,778 bytes compared
to I don't know how many megabytes for KDE. Of course
KDE does more. If that's what you want.
I made room for WordPerfect8, ApplixwareWords5, and StarOffice5.1
(all rather bulky wordprocessors) by eliminating KDE on a 1 GB
hard drive which also has a 300 MB DOS partition.
