when I used it I kinda liked flwm.  It is a little idiosyncratic, but very 
targeted to saving space:
  1. No config file.  YOu sec that parameters in the .h file and recompile.  
So non of the config parsing and parameter setting code is needed.

  2. Title bars are on the left *side* of the window written sideways.  
This allows for maximal useful vertical space in a window.  This is 
exspecially nice on small screens.

and it is lightning fast.
