I've checked out equinox or e.d.e. It looks just as good as kde or gnome - has a nice, fresh clean look. Equinox uses fltk which is a more lightweight C++ toolkit that's been around for a while. It includes a modified version of icewm, file manager, and all sorts of utilities. It's about 10 times faster than kde or gnome and uses very little memory.
<p>
The problem is that there are so many C++ errors that e.d.e. doesn't compile with recent versions of gcc. Also it doesn't help that e.d.e. uses unstable pre-alpha versions of fltk 2.0 instead of the stable branch. I did try an older binary version of e.d.e. some months ago which is the basis for the positive comments above. It's a nice desktop.
<p>
This project could motivate a lot of other people to use fltk if only the developers would clean up their code and do a little work on the web site to make it look more finished and ready for business.
