Whilst not an direct answer to your question, try xfce. It's meant to be
lightweight and, on my EEE it works great. You can install gnome and kde
thingies (applets and stuff) if there are no xfce equivalents.

If all that fails, drop the idea of a desktop manager and just go for
a simpler setup. DMs tend to load a fair bit into RAM to do their funky
things.
