You can try removing all desktop environment packages, and use only twm (supplied with X11), which is a very very minimalistic window manager. However, you'll still need a login manager like xdm if you want the system to boot to a graphical environment automatically.

gnome-wm - Launches the user selected window manager for the GNOME session

SYNOPSIS
gnome-wm [--default-wm windowmanager] [--sm-client-id id] DESCRIPTION
The gnome-wm script invokes the user selected window manager. If the user has not chosen a window manager it will try to launch a GNOME compliant window manager. The user can overwrite the selection of a window manager by setting the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable. If a --default-wm option is given the script uses that window manager in case WINDOW_MANAGER is not set. If gnome-wm is given as the argument to --default-wm then it is the same as if no default was given. The script takes the --sm-client-id argument and translates the id to an appropriate option depending on which window manager was selected. ENVIRONMENT
The gnome-wm program uses the value of the WINDOW_MANAGER environment variable to let the user override the configured window manager. PERSISTENT SETTINGS
The program stores the current selection of a window manager in the gconf key /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/default SEE ALSO
gnome-session(1),default.session(5) BUGS
If you find bugs in the gnome-wm program, please report these using bug-buddy or the gnome-bug script included with the GNOME libraries distribution. GNOME 1.0 GNOME(1)
