Dropline isn't really that active anymore. You may want to check out Freerock 
Gnome at:

http://gsb.freerock.org/

It's very easy to install and I have never had any problems other than a 
mangling of my KDE menu after using Gnome. The developer quickly came back 
with a fix and it has been in his FAQ ever since.

There is also a Slackware version of Enlightenment .017 at:

http://slacke17.sourceforge.net/

I'm mostly on KDE, but I occasionally use either Gnome or Enlightenment. E17 
is dveloping some nice features now.
