I ran into one issue, that being on my server (mythtv, file, etc) I
am normally in text/ssh mode but occasionally I need X for something.
Does anyone have suggestions for a small-footprint window manager (I
have no need for a full desktop environment) as twm is just fugly and
sometimes not intuitive. I also don't need a file manager as I use
Midnight Commander which works well for my needs. This all stems from
occasionally needing a gui for configuring mythtv or the ability to
have two shells open side by side.
I am thinking others have most likely had this problem at some point
and have found something that's lightweight for this type of purpose.

What about not installing xorg at all on that box, and just ssh'ing in
from a different PC with full desktop setup when you need a gui?
