If you want something that is really fast, takes up very little memory and
is possible the most functional wm in existance then try ude and uwm. Once
I got the hang of the title-bar-less nature of this wm I have never looked
back. I know this sounds like a blatent plug, but it really is how I feel:
I've looked at kwm, xdm, fvwm, bb, window-maker, sawmill, but none are as
good in terms of functionality (IMO) as uwm.

Try it.
