i'd go with lxde or gnome classic
lxde seems to be the lighter desktop around, might also be easier to do some stuff if you coming from windows
you could also install some docks and make all programs easily accessible for them
(i would go with cairo-docks or avant-window manager)
not sure if...
yep, it's a very well polished game, right now (a little more after the last patch)
i've been playing it since release and this weeks multiplayer was really funny
tip: it can be made to look even better using FXAA Post Process Injection (with TechniColor)
