I don't mind the latest KDE (4.10), but agree that it may be too heavy for some. Fedora19 shipped with "MATE" as an option, though I don't think it is installed by default. It is a fork of Gnome 2 and may be suitable. yum groupinstall "MATE Desktop" to get it. LXDE and IceWM are still available through simple yum updates from the standard Fedora repo as well.
