Hi,
Perhaps you could take a look at this one too: icewm, here: http://www.icewm.org/
It's fast and beautiful. A quick note: GNOME compliance, partial KDE compliance

Here's the command to add window managers to your
sessions files. (Assuming you use gdm)
cp -a /usr/bin/wmaker /etc/gdm/Sessions/Windowmaker
This copies your startup script into your Sessions

you can make changes to /etc/X11/Xsession or 'startx'
many startx scripts will also take the window manager as a parameter, in
which case you can just 'replace' your startx with 'startx black
