ratpoison looks interesting (I never actually tried it,
because I ran into ION first and fell in love).

The idea of only having one, full-screen frame at a time
seem to reductionnist to me, though. On a large screen, I
will typically want to have gkrellm or similar monitors, an
editor and a shell (to compile and run), which I really
want to have all at the same time (I'm greedy).

Fair enough. I'll reword by saying it's one of the very few
WMs (with ratpoison) to stray from the "many floating,
overlapping windows" paradigm.
