I tried fluxbox out for the first time last night and I think I am sold 
on it.  It's so flipping fast (and I had been using Blackbox, which I 
thought flipping fast).

I think the reason the light weights are light weight is because they 
are mininmalistic and don't support a lot of these kinds of advanced 
features.  Gnome & KDE, of course, support this kind of stuff, but they 
are not light weight by any means (and are more than just window managers).
