Is it possible to forego X altogether, and run things like firefox, thunderbird, etc through the framebuffer from a bashprompt, rather than starting X and going from there. The reason I ask, is I hate the bloat of Gnome and KDE, and don't have the time to learn to configure fvwm or fluxbox, etc. In addition, the X server has a lot to it that I don't really need. This is just a personal desktop, and aside from setting up samba to share mp3's with my fiance's computer (across the room), I don't do provide any servers. I also generally don't use any graphical utilities for setting up or maintaing the system. The only progs I really use in X are, Firefox, Thunderbird, XMMS, Openoffice, and occasionally KDevelop... mostly for editing my fvwm config.
Thanks in advance for any help.
