Having been influenced by what has been said in this thread, I decided to give a try to WindowMaker / BlackBox / XCFE. As far as xfce is concerned, I only found one RPM in SourceForge (and I don't think anything is missing).
I don't like too much, though - BlackBox seems to be my new love...

XFCE is nice when it's running, but getting it installed is a pain. Even with the RPM's, there are *way* too many of them to consider it a newbie installation. Last time I checked, there were six or seven different packages that needed to be installed to get XFCE functional.
Huh. I must have done something wrong then I only installed one. Since
this thread started I have played with Icewm and xfce on my 7.3 laptop. I punted on nautilus over a year ago but still use gnome. Thing are
faster without gnome.
I have not had a chance to dink much with xfce and I am not sure I like the task bar thing since it it big and I am used to gnome panel with small icons and can keep it on top.
