Try XFce4. It's light, simple, and looks nice. Alas, even XFce has become tainted and follows stupid Windoze-inspired GUI design ideas. I'm coasting along on the excellent XFCE 3.8.18 with no plans to upgrade.

In 4.x the menu gets mapped under the pointer, instead of next to it, so you have to move the mouse a wee bit to cancel it. A half dozen small changes like this make 4.x somewhat irritating to use.

Sorry.. the urge to be a slashdotter was too much. In general, and not the post I am replying to, the fact is that this discussion is very much how people's brains work and assuming everyone's brain works the same way. When people dont agree with that or make a different decision.. it becomes a holy war.
