Then I'd use the XFce4 WM, since it & Mozilla/Firebird both depend
on Gtk.

Hmmm. Given enough RAM, and your definition of "smaller processors",
that should work fine.

Have you also considered some sort of LTSP system? That way, any
changes can be made once, on the server, and would propagate in-
stantly to the clients. Also, the clients could be totally disk-
less, and very low-power, since the server would be doing all of
the Flash computations. Of course, if you go that route, you'd
have to run cat5, adequately size a server, etc.
