I've found blackbox to be light weight, flexible, and very fast.

Blackbox doesn't have icons on the desktop by default, but if you really
want them you can run gmc and it will give them to you. Personally I
just setup keyboard combinations with bbkeys to run the applications
that I want. There is also an application called bbconf that makes
customizing bb a breeze.

Nope as long as you have the applications and libs that are required you
should be set.
