I'm using wmaker_0.53.0-1.9.slink.1, which I picked up from the gnome staging area
(url temporarily misplaced, but I got it from this list - check the
archives). It's likely to install other stuff, but it's all built to
work nicely with slink. There are gnome and non-gnome versions of both
icewm and wmaker there, as well as other stuff (Gnome 1.0). Works for
me, modulo some minor drawing problems that are probably in the xserver.
