I seem to have settled on XMonad. I chose it is because it's highly configurable and hackable. I also chose it because its written in Haskell, a language I already know and like. In fact, even XMonad's configuration is done by writing Haskell code. Although XMonad is known as tiling window manager it actually can be configured as a (somewhat primitive) regular WM with over lapping windows and window title bars etc. I am also currently running with gnome-session and gnome-panel (Debian testing/unstable offers an Xmonad with gnome3-fallback option) to provide somewhere for the network manager applet to live. I hope in the near term to ditch as much as possible of the rest of the Gnome because the gnome-fallback stuff is likely to disappear. I also hope to hack/configure XMonad a little more so that it gets a little more gloss and a few more of the features of Gnome2.
