I use fluxbox and sometimes wmaker. Probably a lot of people are put off by the default configs, but both offer extremely powerful and versatile customization tools. Add your fave terminal emulator (I recommend terminator for it's killer feature set) and conky for system monitoring, midnight commander or worker for file management, and you have a pretty complete desktop without need of all the bloaty k or g stuff. It's a *lot* faster that way, too.
I have Fluxbox installed here as well. I use it for a backup GUI. I can open Seamonkey and some other programs in it. I mostly wanted something that if KDE died, I could get to the mailing lists or the forums and get help in a easy way.
KDE is big tho. I also like KDE. I tried Gnome but it just wasn't my thing. Fluxbox as a backup is nice tho. It is surely fast on this 4 core 3.2Ghz with 8Gbs of ram rig. To say it flies is putting it mild. lol
For those keeping up, DHL got the new memory to Memphis. It has been sitting at the post office since Monday. I'm hoping it will show up today but it says next week on the website. Time to drag out my bicycle again. lol
