I want a smallish 4/3rds camera with a fast prime lens. My first choice is the GX1, but I'm open to others.

Camera companies really should take better care with their model names...

I scratched my head for a minute and was wondering if I should send you a message asking if you fell and hit your head, because the GX1 is neither 4/3 nor does it have a fast prime lens. Oh, wait, you want a GX1, not a G1X!

If you're still looking, I'd suggest that you check some of the demo and refurbished deals that have been around recently. I picked up an E-PL1 demo about a month ago, with the 14-42 kit lens, for around $200. The kit is running a little higher now (I ordered from Cameta camera, and they are only showing the blue in stock right now, and the prices is $23). I also got a fast prime by buying a de-kitted Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 off of ebay. You could get the de-kitted Pany lens and a demo E-PL1 (no kit lens) for around $300.
