I've got TP600 (300Mhz PII, 128MB RAM), and I had freeze Gnome too, 
since I replaced HDD.
Now I'm using Gnome whith no Nautilus for background (there is 
root-tail), and whith xnc as file manager. All of this exist in distrib. 
See Linux Gazette Issue 110 (in distrib too) in "More 2 Cent Tips!" for 
making startX whithout Desktop Managers.

Good Luck!
