I settled on XFCE. I have been running Fluxbox for serveal weeks now and love its lightening-quick startup time. I'd gotten so used to KDE taking forever to startup after login, that I keep forgetting that fluxbox typically takes less then 5 secs to start up.
I installed xfce last night (via yum), and played around with it. I like it's combination of quickness and features, it's quick, and it's seems to be quite useful. It's got a very good chance of becoming my deafult WM.

Xfce is nice and if need be runs the Gnome panel quite nicely. There are some good native widgets out there as well.

What I'd really like to see is a Live CD with XFCE as the default desktop.
My only real complaint with Live CDs is how slow they load up. A lightweight desktop should make that a bit better.
