My smallest box is a 486 with 32MB ram with a 512 MB drive. Granted it
can't run Etch anymore but it runs up-to-date xorg from OpenBSD.
I use icewm on all my boxes.
If you only want to show one window, then technically you don't need a
window manager. For convenience, you could have rxvt start then run
your app from that. Set window size and position with --geometry.
