I'd like to mention a caveat to that: if you're used to DEs and then you get a WM you'll be a bit confused about where all your useful tools are. After awhile you realise you have to get them yourself, which is in fact a Good Thing because it results in your only having exactly what you want instead of a desktop full of dozens of useless turds.
XFCE is a good happy medium because it has a modular library of tools that you can download as required.
By the way can anyone recommend me a good, simple image browser? I'm using Kuickshow at the moment which isn't at all bad but it leaves a bunch of barf in my terminal when I launch it. Guess it misses KDE or something.
