On my laptop, I have GNOME plus LXDE. I just stick with GNOME these days since I got my desktop working again, but in the past I used LXDE often because GNOME tended to crash on games. Later I figured out that Compiz was the source of the problem.
On my desktop, I have GNOME, Xfce, Fluxbox, and KDE. I got Xfce for the same reason I put LXDE on my laptop, again before I figured out that turning off Compiz fixed the problems. I now use the Xfce window manager under GNOME when I want to do some gaming (using the fusion-icon.) I got Fluxbox because I wanted to investigate the possibility of creating a desktop environment based on it (I still haven't ruled it out, I've got a lot of cool ideas, but I'm too busy these days.) I got KDE because I was tired of installing all kinds of Qt packages separately and I wanted to just install them all at once.
