Yep, hunting out apps which don't need KDE/Gnome which do the same job
can be a bit of a pain.

Does fvwn have KDE or GNOME support? I use WindowMaker and I *like*
the fact that does a good job of supporting and integrating KDE and
GNOME apps equally. Of course, Debian's modular package management
helps since I get only the libraries I *need* instead of all of KDE and
GNOME for one or two apps. It is still a few tens of MBs, but not
hundreds of MBs.
