Gnome is too bloated anyway... try out icewm. Much better.
If we're getting into religious wars here WindowMaker works great for me.

Wow! I'm not trying to start a religious war. Who cares what window
manager their using as long as they can conveniently get to the real
applications they want to use.
I take it back. Trying to help people sucks.
Hey Michael,
Don't always take it to hart like that.
Helping people is actually a good way to give back and you never know
who else read the list that you might have helped as well. I for one
didn't know about icewm and I guess I will try it. OK, running a window
display on my OpenBSD is something I like to do, but in all honesty,
it's something I like to do for the last 7 years and still today, I
don't run one, so it show the importance of it doesn't it! (:> I try
before KDE, GNome and may be one or two more, but all to bulky if you
asked me! I always end up going back to the console only and PuTTY when
I need to access the servers from a Windows computer.
I guess may be what I was/am looking for is something that could be like
these windows manager, but that don't need the X packages, (to many
security issues brought to light by Dave), but I guess it may doesn't
exists. But again, may be it does. See the level of my ignorance on that
side! I have to admit, it's always been something I wanted to run, but
the needs always been very small that I never spend the time to actually
do the research to see what can actually be done. I figure, one day, it
will cross my screen on the list and then, may be it will be time to try it.
Anyway, all that to say that you should not react like that. A few times
you will be hang to the wall, sure happened to me as well, but that's
not a reason not to help when you can. You never really know who else
your answer will benefit. Many are silent and do read the list, always
remember that!
Doesn't mean what you suggest is good or bad, I have no clue, but it
does give me something to try! (:>
Regards,
Daniel
