I never have "effects" enabled - I don't see the need for them.

'top' shows things as they are (well, so I believe).

JWM doesn't display desktop icons either. It has a "click anywhere on
the desktop to show the menu", which I find much better. I also have
custom sub menus with my most-used items.

It's JWM not JVM. ;-)  OpenSUSE, FreeBSD any many others don't have
JWM as a package option either. I always install JWM directly from the
source. It has very little dependencies (pretty much uses Xlib and
libPNG only). It is very simple to compile, and compilation takes just
a few seconds.

TIP:
JWM uses it's own config/menu file (XML based), but very easy to edit
by hand. I also recommend you Google for a binary file 'jwm-xdgmenu'
which is not included with JWM (last time I looked). If you can't find
it, I can email it to you. It translates the XDG based menus which
most Linux distros now use, into a JWM sub-menu. It's quite handy.

JWM source can be downloaded directly from the JWM hopepage:
