Are you converting to XFCE? :)
My plan is on any future installs, to just install xfce and pekwm.
Well, don't need to intstall pekwm since it's just in my home dir.
I like ice, but as rarely as i use it, i'll let it go. Also, i won't

Find is a bad example - it's got bugger all to do with KDE - it's a
stand
alone program, which utilises none of KDE's libraries, GUI or much
else.
You are talking about the console command 'find' aren't you? You
know, 'find

I think Gnome is more resource hungry.
Two examples are xine(a multimedia player) and the command find
available in both environments.
My machine(PIII 600, 256MB-RAM) can run xine at its full speed
