I recently switched from FVWM to wmi http://wmi.berlios.de.
(http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=WMI_-_Window_Manager_I
mproved/Screenshots contains a shot of WMI running PD)

 	Wmi is a tiling window manager like ion or rat poison that also
supports floating windows. All features of wmi can be accessed through
vi like key commands (it has "work" mode and an "input" mode for issuing
commands). I have have started to really get into the speed and
effeciancy that comes from not having to constantly move your hand off
the keyboard to grab for the mouse or pen. 
	
	It may not be completely appropriate for a lot of GUI apps that
don't have shortcut keys for everything, but for what I do (Jack and pd
with the occasional SEQ24) it works pretty well.
