Take a look at the ratpoison and blackbox window managers. I used blackbox for a long time on my mythbox as it's very lightweight, but I eventually ran into some focus problems (mplayer and xine would start up behind the myth menu window so you could never actually view movies, only hear them). When I had those problems I switched to ratpoison which is extremely lightweight and have never had another problem since. It definitely made a HUGE difference in startup time moving from KDE to ratpoison on my Athlon 1600+. Brad
