The best lightweight window manager?

[master_kernel]

What do you think the best lightweight window manager is?

To me, the top seats belong to XFCE and Enlightenment, maybe IceWM. So, how about you?

well technically XFCE isn't a WM so it doesn't count...but it wins best DE in my book (although I still use GNOME). I would say my Favorite WM is Fluxbox or E17. next comes what is it....ICEWM

I have absolutely nothing against any of the other lightweights, but I'm currently in love with Fluxbox. Simple, takes few resources, and takes all its cues from human-readable text files.

Sawfish, pure awesomeness. I love all of them...FVWM, CTWM, Windowmaker, etc. They do different things and work in different ways that I like using all of them.

But as for brainless configuration and stuff, Sawfish wins by far.

I was using Openbox for a while, looove it. Now trying Fluxbox, just felt like giving it a go, and really digging it too.

+1 Fluxbox. I've been using it for years now. I've checked out and play with some of the others, but still seem to always come back to Flux.

OpenBox, BlackBox, IceWM? I don't know which is the lightest and best, but I use GNOME/OpenBox.

Actually, the xfce4 window manager is xfwm4, and it has many features like composting and transparency. For a lightweight browser, xfwm4 is pretty damn good.
