I use xterm + fluxbox's tab grouping (you may choose any wm with that feature, AFAIK Openbox does it), and I defined the keys as konsole to switch between tab's...

BTW, My computer can't stand KDE as an enviroment, so konsole isn't an alternative. I know, I know, but starting konsole *without* KDE is a memory-hungry option.

I use fluxbox + tabbing as well, ever since the tabs have been merged into the title bar instead of hanging off the window. Personally I prefer aterm rather than xterm, mainly for the transparancy.

Don't see much of a point in xdm/gdm/etc.. on a single user machine. startx + ~/.xinitrc have always worked for me.
