Tiny bit too big?  XEmacs?  That's pretty funny ;-).  Did you ever notice 
what XEmac's icon is?

Seriously, though, I like Xjed (an X extension of jed, if you're familiar
with that).  YMMV, o' course ;-).  There's another editor, whose name
escapes me right now, that I use sometimes as well.  It's a commercial
package, but free for linux, and made right here in Atlanta.  I'll look up
the name when I get a chance (or maybe not, since it's finals week ;-).  
If you get desperate, there's always an xterm with vi.
