You could do what I did with my install of Wheezy 64-bit (Replacing Fedora 12): Abandon the desktop "environment" entirely, and just use a full-featured window manager and a few utilities. I found Openbox with LXPanel works just fine. Lower overhead, too. Just do a Base net install, and add one thing at a time.
