I forget what started this discussion, but it sounds as though you are
wanting a WM with low resource overhead abd which allows a window to
retain focus when the mouse pointer leaves it. If this is the case why
not try olvwm (Sun's OpenLook)? It uses single colour icons, has no
task bar etc. and has a "ClickToType" resource setting that keeps
focus on a window until you click in another (I personally use the
traditional "focus follows mouse" method).
