If plain X is not sufficient, I'd recommend wmii. It has a really
small footprint in terms of memory usage and depencies; libc6,
libx11-6, libxrandr2 plus their respective depencies, but that's it.
And also it is a windows manager in the words' sense, because it
maximizes the usage of the screen by arranging (managing) your
windows.
For me it was definitely worth the 1 hour learning time. Never want
to miss it anymore.
Just my 2¢
