After KDE3 wasn't supported any longer and KDE4 was unusable in my 
opinion, I tested IceWM, Windowmaker and Sawfish/Sawmill. Finally I 
switched to XFCE which I still use.

I would like to try Trinity Desktop (based on KDE3) but unfortunately 
there is no Gentoo package. I don't know if there is an Gentoo overlay 
containing Trinity, but I never used overlays and don't have time to 
fiddle around anyway.
