This research is interesting:
http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/desktop_benchmark.html

According to that research, not much difference with Xfce and web browser 
versus KDE and its konqueror web browser (which both beat Gnome plus web 
browser). And not much difference between Xfce + kword or KDE + kword. 
And if you use openoffice.org Writer plus Xfce that uses a lot more 
memory than KDE plus Kword.

For years, I used blackbox. But for almost a year I have been using jwm. 

I'd really like to write books about building and maintaining the 
"lightweight server" and the "lightweight desktop".
