I just went through this for my PII with 64 MB ram. Xfce was just a bit
too big (too much memory) so after downloadin and trying all the wm, I
went back to icewm that I used to use.
The config programmes for icewm are heaveweight; one uses Qt. However,
the config files are simple; copy the defaults to your home directory
and edit as needed.
