It's possible to make Gnome look quite windowmakerish.  For a while I
used Gnome and Enlightenment, with the Absolute-e theme.  By getting rid
of the task bar and having 2 vertical panels, right and left, with only
tiles on them I had something that looked quite like the WM dock and
panel with the bonus of being single click.

Enlightenment provided the different backgrounds for different desktops,
which Gnome didn't do at the time (does it now?).

People accuse Enlightenment of bloat but with all the extras stripped
out and the Absolute-e theme I had something fairly minimal.  Not as
minimal as I have now, of course, but minimalist.
