For what it's worth, fvwm would probably still fall under the category of a Window Manager rather than a full-blown desktop environment like KDE or Gnome.  But yes, it does do pretty well on low-resource computers.  I still use fvwm-95 on an old '486 laptop with 20M RAM running RedHat 5.1 and I suspect it would also be a good choice on a '68k machine.
