You might like to try a more lightweight window manager -- I hear good
things about Sawfish, but I've yet to try it: you should still be able
to call your k applications from it. I hesitate to suggest this -- *nix
folk are usually ridgidly divided into those who like emacs or vim --
but xemacs is one hungry bunny! You might like to try gvim instead (I
recommend building from source and building it against GTK: while it
will build against lots of other widget sets, it now depends on GTK for
some elements of its functionality. http://www.vim.org)

Cheers
