KDE and GNOME are NOT window managers, never where never will be and no how.
KDE and GNOME are desktop enviroments, afterstep and friends are window 
managers.

If you want something that is just X and then a window manager then get black 
box, it is fast and small.  If you want to run as an XTerminal you can also do
XFree86 -query <ipaddress>
To attach to a remote server.

For X to be usable though you will more than likely need a window manager.
