Keep looking, Erik,
I'm curious as to what you finally settle on and why.
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.

Does this mean you see Gnome as dying ? I have had the feeling for a
while that the community supporting it has dropped below a sustainable
level.
