GNOME is a window manager, or that other thing?  I can't remember what it's called, desktop environment
or something.  So, it's pretty straightforward?

Try GNOME!  I am running it on a Sparc5 and and an Ultra5.  It is much slower on the Sparc5, 
but it runs like a champ on the Ultra5.  I can put any background I want on it.

Okay, I tried Enlightenment.  Much to my dismay, it was slow, despite top reporting 
16MB of free memory (not that it's really that accurate, for only having 64MB right now), 
and going back to CDE (logging in as root), shows I have less than 2, but it's a heckuva 
lot faster.  Much faster.  And I didn't get it to change the background images to something 
custom, but my monitor is somewhat dim anyways.  Will I have better luck with WindowMaker? 
I'm running configure on it now before I try building it.  I'm hoping it'll be somewhat fast, 
I don't need a lot of extra crap, just a prettier X interface - CDE did that, but it's too boring.
