There are many alternatives out there, that at times it's difficult to
offer an alternative. Obviously you're not asking about KDE, because like
GNOME it's not "a light one".
I don't know if Xfce will have the same "crunch" to you as GNOME. For me,
Xfce has more crunch. Infinitely more crunch. Because crunch is relative.
I recommend you give them all a shot. That's the only way you'll find
which one is for you.
Xfce is light. It's very very light. And I think it's pretty enough for my
needs. I don't like all that brouhaha of KDE or GNOME. I want my desktop
environment to be snappy, spartan. And that's exactly what Xfce is. I
particularly like the ability to bind the Windows (TM) keys on my Logitech
keyboard to the WindowList and Menu popup commands. Xfce doesn't have a
taskbar like Windows/GNOME/KDE/etc, so without these keybindings it's
quite difficult to have to Alt+Tab through life.
Give it a shot. Perhaps you'll like it. Then maybe sometime we can have an
EB and God willing I'll have a laptop to show Xfce off on. :)
