One more reason to use Linux and this is what you can really try from your own.
Isn't it is nice that you are customizing your desktop environment. How your desktop looks like. This is what windows can not provide you.
A general architecture
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Command Line ----------------------> Top layer
Windows Manager--------------------> Adjust your tools
X Window OS ------------------------------> Manages your drawing on the output device
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GNOME comes with desktop environment and windows manager in various flavors (for example matacity windows manager etc.) essentially you call GNOME as desktop environment itself. Your default Ubuntu distribution comes with GNOME desktop environment.
Similarly KDE and XFCE is also a desktop environment, and speciality of XFCE is that it is lightweight.
On same machine you can install more than one desktop environment to use them you have to just logout and then choose desktop environment from the pop up list while right clicking the password box during log in.
Go here and find more...
And most fabulous way to add your own linux lightweight desktop environment is by installing windows manager (often lack of task bars, panels and tools) without installing any desktop environment and add features according to your need.
Will love to experiment with my desktop environment so be ready for learning
Happy learning......
