Shouldn't that be KDE and Gnome both _use_ heavy window managers? or
are you saying that KDE and Gnome are window managers? I use fluxbox
on my home server, its ok.. nothing exciting though -- just nice and
slim, which is what i wanted.

I have found even minimal customizations of Fluxbox to be not worth
the effort, so mine is very much in its vanilla state right now. But
again, it's more than enough for th purposes I wanted it.
