Chris,

   There is room on my machine only for one CPU hog, and that is not Gnome_3.  My desktop is FVWM, and I use some tools that come with LXDE.  FVWM probably is not for beginners, but the configuration files are heavily commented.  They may be fairly manageable, especially if you can find a configuration that is approximately what you want.  I strongly recommend XFCE and LXDE.
