all, kde, gnome, Xfce are not applications, they are graphical environments....
Kde and gnome are most heavy weight.....
There are many window managers, that will be even faster, less resource consuming and less dependent on other things...
for example, some of most popular are: fluxbox, fvwm2 (which i use), blackbox..... etc
you can run any app from any environment on any environment/window manager....
They will load nessacery libs, when launched...

on qestion, why didn't anyone tell:
1) you probably didn't ask
2) everyone runs something different, what fits for one, doesn't fit for other one
3) because of 3rd, everyone would probably suggest their favorite thing (i'd suggest fvwm2-devel)
