Alternative GUI For FreeBSD

Hello, in Gnome I like VFS. Network manager is also useful, but it's not Gnome dependent. I've used IceWM and Xfce4 and I liked them very much. You can give them a try - IceWM configuration is stored in plain text files. It's very lightweight and very stable. This is one of my favorite WMs.
Xfce4 is not so spartan - it's configured with GUI tools, looks like gnome but has less features.... So in my opinion you will not loose very much but it's a personal choice
