Should work fine as long as you avoid memory hogs like KDE/Gnome and
Netscape.

That's like saying that GNU emacs is less bloated than XEmacs. It may
be true, but the vi users are still going to laugh at you. :-)
I recommend fvwm; it uses less memory than twm/vtwm/wmaker/blackbox,
but has a lot more power and flexibility than lwm/9wm. Basically, it
stands out as one of the optima on the power/size curve. Plus, it's
still very well supported (much more so than twm/vtwm).

Yes, laptops seem to fall into a whole separate category when it comes
to creating XF86Config -- I know what kind of hardware I have *and*
I'm relatively fluent with XF86Config, and I *still* had to find a
working one on the net before I could get X to work acceptably on my
laptop.
