I don't use GNOME but I do use X. I use icewm but any simple wm will
work just fine. I'm thinking of going to openbox but I'm not sure.
If __all__ you want is iceweasel, then you don't even need a window
manager (disclaimer: haven't tried it so don't know if Iceweasel would
barf on opening a second window or download dialog).
On Etch, the nvidia driver is no hassle, I just have the standard debian
meta-package installed and it just works.
