Possible if you had none of those "effects" running, but still depends
upon how the load display defines the "idle" state - it might just ignore
that "residual" load the desktop itself produces.

Which kind of memory? For openbox, "top" lists the following:
 VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
17284 8952 6344 S    0  0.3   0:07.24 openbox

The executable has a size of 330392 bytes. It uses the X-libs, glib-2 and
in addition libffi and a couple of others.
It's the window manager of lxde which I don't have installed, and as such
it doesn't care about providing even desktop icons (which I don't have a
need for anyway).
But Martin had had some trouble with openbox already in the past, so if
you don't experience any problems with your JVM, I might try it also.
(Unfortunately, it seems like Arch Linux doesn't provide it as a package.)
