No GTK dependencies, even. I actually prefer it to Openbox because it allows you to run the panel at the top of the screen and prevents you from dragging windows under it. You can get a rather convincing Gnome-like desktop going in it with a tiny fraction of the system requirements.

My only complaints with it are the lack of a decently designed control panel and how many of the themes are so exceedingly *ugly*…
