1) Gnome/KDE are compicated environments. For test
purposes at least try
something like fluxbox which runs almost nothing by defualt. (I don't know
windowmaker - it may be pretty minimal already.)
Windowmaker has its own sound server, extensions like meters and mixers
for the dock, etc, etc... It's reasonably easy to set up, massively stable,
extensible, efficient, yadda, yadda...
I think Gnome and Kde pretty nice but maybe a bit more oriented to office
applications and home users. If you just want to run an application or a
small group of applications at a time or if you want to set up your own
environment you can't beat X.
MWM, Flux/Open/Blackbox, FVWM ...Afterstep.
