As far as desktop environments go...
I realize it has been a rough path getting enlightenment to run (but it is very configurable and slick looking)
Past "E"
My best suggestion is wmaker or wm2 for the flexibility of the minimal screen real estate on the n900.
wmaker worked quite well on the n8x0 and I enjoyed using it ...
I'm sure it would suffice for our needs on the n900.
It may not be "pretty" and polished ... but it is very very configurable and very functional for the purpose of the n900...without icons, fonts, etc disappearing on the n900.
I am sure there are other de possibles which would do as well.

As a side note.. obtusely... I have been very pleasantly surprised at the options in antix ...with the (now antiquated) options for de's... just don't find the cool stuff anymore preinstalled.
