That brings back memories! As does running the desktop from one’s .xinitrc:

    panel &
    background-properties --init &
    keyboard-properties --init &
    mouse-properties --init &
    fvwm2 -f .fvwm2rc.gnome

Honestly, I think that there was a lot to love about that straightforward, discoverable way of doing things.

I do it this way even today, although I don't mess with gnome bits, just stumpwm and xmodmap, xbindkeys, etc

I still do this. And no systemd. I like simple things that I understand and can do from first principles.

Still common for ArchLinux users.
