Use 'xwmconfig' to change "desktops".

KDE and Gnome are heavy

XFCE is light

FluxBox is the most common light one.  WindowMaker is my favorite light one.  Give them a shot.

I highly disrecommend ion.  It's the lightest, and probably the most functional for people who know how to use it, but I don't recommend it.

FluxBox for a less intensive window manager. :P

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I've tried the ones in the menu (KDE, xfce, WM, Fluxbox, and a couple others).  I really like xfce, but 1 thing bugs me: the menus don't cascade, they scroll.  Arg.  Anyone know how to fix this?

Also, I can't edit the xfce menu when I'm in my user account, and it's annoying.  I have things to change.

I don't know, on both accounts.  Tmp is the only person I know who's been using xfce for an extended period of time,  he might know.  If not, I'm sure they have a mailing list if you look.
