Maybe a lightweight window manager like openbox would suit your
needs... there is only a desktop menu (by default) that is easily
edited using obmenu and openbox itself is easily configured using obconf
if you want to change basic behavior or themes. In fact if you don't
care for using the utilities, the default menu has a web browser and
terminal right at the top of the menu.

Hope that helps...
