You don't say what release you are using. With 2.2.2,
"configure" gives you some choices:

  --disable-modality disable modal dialogs for applications
  --disable-saveunder disable saveunders for pop-up menus
  --disable-shape disable shape extensions
  --disable-activedown-button disable ActiveDown button state
  --disable-inactive-button disable Inactive button state
  --disable-mini-icons disable MiniIcon style option
  --disable-vector-buttons disable vector button style
  --disable-pixmap-buttons disable pixmap button style
  --disable-gradient-buttons disable gradient button style
  --disable-multistyle disable stacked button styles
  --disable-extended-titlestyle disable styled title-bars
  --disable-borderstyle disable BorderStyle command
  --disable-usedecor disable UseDecor style option
  --disable-windowshade disable WindowShade function

I can't say how much that will save you.
