As long as we're going down this road, I might as well chime in for fvwm2. It gets a lot more functionality per ram usage than anything short of twm, and in real world usage it's a great deal more agile than most. The only real disadvantage is the huge learning curve, but there's stuff like dotfile-fvwm2 to help, though I've never had call to use it.
