=====================
Gnome is defintely NOT a window manager, but rather a "desktop environment".
Unlike KDE which comes with it's own window manager (kwm), Gnome needs an
independent window manager like Sawfish (the wm du jour) or Enlightenment, the
former default wm.
I've really learned to appreciate Blackbox, despite the fact that I have a
750mhz Athlon thunderbird w/256 mb RAM. In addition to being lightweight, w/
a small footprint, it is VERY user friendly and efficient. I highly recommend
giving it a try.

BTW, I do occasionally use KDE, and a bit less frequently play with
Helix-Gnome. Both of their apps work under Blackbox
