Icewm is lovely and a bit friendlier than pwm, but not the leanest by a
bit. Here's some sizes for reference:

	Package: pwm
	Installed-Size: 336

	Package: icewm
	Installed-Size: 1131
	Package: iceme
	Installed-Size: 296
	Package: icewm-themes
	Installed-Size: 15380

	Package: ion
	Installed-Size: 348

	Package: wmaker
	Installed-Size: 5400

Some other small window managers are aewm, aewm++ and flwm. (What is Installed-Size anyway?)

For those eventually interested here is another one.
I havent tested it, yet, but it has something in favor -his modularity .
Here are the first lines describing it :
"XFce is a lightweight desktop environment for unix-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use.

XFce 4 is a complete rewrite of the previous version. It's based on the GTK+ toolkit version 2."
