Probably the biggest issue for me though is volume management. Gnome does such a good job at this. Which way should i go to replace this? (skvm, lvman...?) Or can gnome vm be run by itself?

If you're not one of the sheeple who has to have desktop icons to click
and make his programs run, etc, you should just hurry up and quit all the
DE experimentation and run Fluxbox. Uses a *lot* less resources than those
clunky DEs which introduce new twirly giggy things without fixing their
exsisting bugs. Doubt it? Join #gentoo on irc.freenode.net and lurk for 48
hours and find out how many people have problems with KDE (Krummy Desktop
Excuse) and Gnome (furry imaginary creature running around in the forest).
And while you're there, watch how much time they waste trying to get
booted with grub rather than installing lilo and booting their system. :-)

Here's the lines in my #gentoo logs for each:
mingdao@silas ~ $ ls -lh *lines
-rw-r--r-- 1 mingdao mingdao 2.5K Jul 11 14:50 Fluxbox-lines
-rw-r--r-- 1 mingdao mingdao 11K Jul 11 14:50 gnome-lines
-rw-r--r-- 1 mingdao mingdao 22K Jul 11 14:50 kde-lines
