Ivan,
Thanks for the summary.

If you want very minimal DE stuff, [...] I've ended up using xfce's power manager and wicd for networking.
Yes, I'd like to try having something minimal around XMonad. Networking and power management are the obvious and fundamental things to be done outside XMonad. Anything else that might fall into this category, that I might be overlooking?
Blueman works for a bluetooth applet if you don't want gnome dependencies; I think that covers all the "system" apps I use.
Xfce is more of a full-fledged DE, but unless it has changed recently there's no official way of having a custom WM (other than using session support to remember not to use xfce4wm and to launch xmonad).
Is that a problem? Sounds like what you would have to do for pretty much any session manager.
LXDE has an actual config parameter for which WM to use (defaults to Openbox). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
