Judging by file size, fluxbox is rather bloated, but blackbox comes
out smallest - not counting the anorectic window managers like swm or
failsafewm (ouch!) from www.small-window-manager.de:

-rwxrwxr-x    1 freak    freak        7404 Feb 18 23:58 failsafewm
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       257472 Apr 14  2003 /usr/bin/blackbox
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       359160 Mar 23  2003 /usr/bin/fvwm2
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       406668 Mar 13  2003 /usr/bin/icewm
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       625828 Jan 27  2003 /usr/bin/fluxbox

Personally I run blackbox. I tried fluxbox as well, but found, that I
don't use any of the features in fluxbox, that aren't in blackbox as
well, so I went back to black.

My KDE/Gnome is the minibar: http://www.phed.org/miniProject/ Source
apparently gone, mirrored at http://footils.org/pkg/minifbar-0.06.tgz

ciao
