------------------
I agree with Eberhard on Xfce! I always had it installed as a backup to
KDE rather than use Gnome. It's quite configurable and very fast. KDE
programs run fine in it and as far as I can tell you don't lose any
functionality using it. If you are looking for something leaner,
faster and stable, then I agree, give it a try!
