Sounds like a perfect candidate for Blackbox 0.61.x, packaged in Woody and Sid. Using a flat color style (such as the included `minimalist' style), you'd be hard-pressed to find a wm with lower resource consumption. It's as fast as twm with a LOT more functionality, such as multiple pages, Debian Menu support, window shading, iconification, support for WindowMaker dockapps, and menu-based configuration. Beware that the blackbox package in Potato is 0.51.x, and is not as well supported anymore; building 0.61.1 is as easy as adding a testing deb-src line to /etc/apt/sources.list and calling `apt-get source -b blackbox'. -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
