I concur. I installed KDE a while back, and still have it, but I decided to go back to FVWM 1.0 after a few days of it. KDE looks nice, but on a 486 - which I use - it sends the load avg. up to 4 before I even see the desktop on logging in. And GNOME required too much stuff that I didn't want to bother getting, so I never tried it. FVWM is quick and no-nonsense, even if it is a bit ugly.
I'm still using a libc5 system with kernel 2.0.36 (on an i486). Is it really worth the effort to try the move to 2.2.x? I'm pretty happy with the state of the system now, and unless there's some really super-duper reason to do the upgrade boogie (like security problems) I generally leave things be.
