sawfish. it's small, doesn't have a "start menu" type thing, and I
think will place windows for you.
it does pop up a menu when a certain key is pressed ("mouse-2"??) on
the root window, which could allow for the launching of new programs.
but it shouldn't be too hard to disable that, or strip the menus of
any dangerous entries.
you can usually configure the size and geometry of X programs by
passing a "-geometry" argument on the command line. galleon or
mozilla or whatever may not honor this, though.
you might also want to think about disabling the normal control key
sequence which can shutdown X. maybe you can change it to a secret
key combination which shuts X down. I don't know how this is done.
