Search for a good desktop(NOT desktop environment)

[Kaustubh Ghosh]

Does anyone know of a good desktop (NOT desktop environment) for Linux? I have 
kicked out both gnome and kde recently as they couldn't give me speed, and    
I am using blackbox now which is perfectly fine and superbly fast. but i need 
a desktop for putting some icons and shortcuts if possible. I am using ROX 
Filer as file manager. It is supposed to be able to function as a desktop 
(pinboard, in their lingo), but doesn't work with me. The desktop better be 
as minimal as possible.
Thanks in advance.

Try xfce vfast and stuff by the way the pin board and panel in rox are rox
-p=Mypinboard or rox -b=Mypanel

This interested me, but after looking at it for a few hours I can't get 
the damn thing to install on Fedora. It needs libraries (libjpeg, GTK) 
that already exist on my system but configure still tells me they don't 
exist.

Has anyone got this running on FC1 ?
