I loved fvwm. A pain to configure, but you could make it do pretty much anything. I had integrated xmobar with mine and essentially copied over the keybindings from xmonad. Not pretty or user friendly but it worked for me for a long time. Now I'm using KDE, not because it's better especially but because it got me to stop tinkering with my window manager. :) You have to admit it's pretty cool what you can do though. I had a dynamic menu generated off the current slashdot headlines too.
