Enlightenment v17 might be a chore to install, but e16 is a breeze.
Imlib2 might be the only dependency not in Slackware already.

I haven't used XFCE, but e16 seems very light to me. I have used it
for years on my PIII-800.

The fnlib on that page is only if you are building against imlib1
(for an old release like 0.16.5). For a recent release like
e16-0.16.8, all that is needed is imlib2.
