no need to consider:-) you can just try different WMs, most of them
even without restarting X (last time I tried it KDE didn't alow this),
just go to the main (debian) menu and pick a WM from Window Manager menu.
understand some apps require only the gnome or kde toolkits, while
others require the whole kit-and-kaboodle to operate. I'm wondering if
these app categories can politely run in a window manager (that is,
using just the gnome toolkit.)
E-mail (Thunderbird)
Web (Firefox)
Office (OpenOffice)
these run ok with different WMs
in general there are (almost) no problems related to running apps in
different WMs
Contacts (Rubrica)
never tried this one,
