Even WM is heavy compared to Blackbox ! I use Gnome in FBSD via binary
install out of laziness. Maybe blackbox binary install will solve your
problem quickly or portmaster blackbox may get it working as well.
Just speculation though since I've never used blackbox in FBSD but the
port is there and blackbox really rules when it come to light and
flexible WM.
