Karo,
] I have tried ion, evilwm, and ratpoison. They all have their ups and
] downs. I think evilwm is pretty nice, except it has lack of keybinding
] support, and window control features.
]
] What can people suggest for a lightweight, keyboard focused WM?
Here are some pointers. I'm only personally familiar with Blackbox,
which I like:
Blackbox Window Manager (VA Linux systems shipped with this as the
default WM for a while)
http://blackboxwm.sourceforge.net/
Matchbox Window Manager
http://handhelds.org/~mallum/matchbox/
Here are several discussions on the topic, which I find more useful than
a straight list of choices such as you'd find at Freshmeat
