Steve,
I use Openbox as my primary wm, along with the following tools for
added functionality:
tint2 - highly configurable taskbar
nitrogen - wallpaper manager
obconf - Openbox config tool
obmenu - graphical Python app to manage the Openbox menu instead of the XML file
openbox-themes - more themes
xscreensaver - Create an obmenu entry to lock your system with the
following command: xscreensaver-command -lock
I created an autostart.sh file in my ~/.config/openbox directory which
starts tint2, nitrogen, and xscreensaver upon login. Both tint2 and
nitrogen need their config files tweaked after installing the
packages. If you'd like, I can send you mine.

There is a GTK front end package called wicd-gtk. Other wicd front
ends exist too:
