Would anybody care to make a recommendation?

How about ditching "Desktop Environment" altogether and using a
"Window Manager" instead?

That's probably a good idea: rather than starting with a DE and
removing stuff, start with a good window manager and add to that if
needed.

I use ICEWM.  It has to be configured with a text editor, but you can
then set it and forget it.

[...]

  * some sort of task-bar (auto-hide required)

  * some sort toolbar OK (as long as it's auto-hide)

      Got it all.  But you have to edit the config file with a text
      editor.

That's perfectly fine.

I'll take a look at icewm.

I don't think it's a XFCE replacement, but since it has been mencioned to take a WM as starting point, I mencion that I've been usin I3 WM and I'm quit happy about it.

Just a comment, in case it help in any way.

Cheers.
