Openbox3

I use it because I prefer the way it looks to fluxbox and it's totally netWM 
compatible (i.e. standards compliant) It's remarkably like running a 
lightweight version of GNOME, but totally customisable. All it does is manage 
windows, nothing else, which is a Good Thing IMO. I use gkrellm and fbpanel 
to provide friendly GUI facilities and lots of keybindings.
