Fluxbox. Here's what I like about it:
- Lean. Works well on the OLPC XO, for example.
- Extremely configurable.
- Allows a spare, clean look (e.g. minimal, or even absent, window
decorations), yet also supports some eye-candy (including
pseudo-transparency).
- Pretty much every mouse action can also be implemented with
keystrokes.
My next favorite is xfce, and even in fluxbox, I keep xfce-mcs-manager
running to allow enhanced appearance and font control in applications.
