I'm fvwm 1.4, TkDesk and XFmail with X resources set to mimic XFMail's colour scheme (an odd shade of yellow) in XVile, XTerm, XMan ... And a boring plain blueish background. No virtual desktop as I never seen to use them. I've written a cpu graph monitor styled after something I saw on NeXTs years ago. It has three concentric rings representing different averaging times and it colours system, nice, user and idle times. http://www.ragnet.demon.co.uk/ and look for the xcpugraph page. Also, I'm slowing putting together a replacement for TkDesk's Linux centric PPP dialer and smart phone icon so that it works when running ppp -auto. And has things like setting logging modes, timeouts etc. Unfortuntaly the whole Desktop set breaks the competetion rules, I need an suid program for the cpu monitor, patches to TkDesk, a shell script version of xinit/startx and globs of X resource files, a very nice log file reader called Termite (not my own)...
