Well I pretty much went this way:
abrwm (evilwm) (tinywm didn't have vwindows), fbpanel, xv, idesk,
transset-dt, I have not selected a fm yet... For the most part I
really like it (lean and mean) but one feature that several my apps
support is transparent windows but seems abrwm for what ever reason
doesn't support this and will completely ignore any windows with it...
so I am looking for the next smallest wm that can do virtual windows
and transparency... I know openbox, ion, xfwm all can do it but want
something even lighter.
