That's an interesting read for a non-tech publisher. Sure it's a high level article, but pretty far off the beaten path for them.
Anyway, I've been using afterstep on my laptop for a bit now and have been thinking of switching to xfce. it seems to be more active, and i haven't liked a few features of afterstep.
But I haven't used gnome or kde for a while. I just hit a snapping point where I decided a non-windows box shouldn't be sitting there thinking to load a desktop.
Then I ran into sight on multi-head monitoring for games. There is a quake3 Linux setup with 2 monitors running on a Amd k6-2 450mhz. Go to the web page below and scroll down past the Windows UT setup and you'll see it:

When I see stuff like that and remember how fast I've had linux desktops running on < 1ghz machines, it reminds me why I don't try the latest overweight desktops.
Anyway, my 2 cents...
