The ABSOLUTE lightest window manager, which ships with most ALL XFree sources 
is... TADAH... TAB WINDOW MANAGER. Look in /etc/X11/twm for the original 
config script. It's the heart and soul of the startx script.

A really good source for TWM information and configuration scripts is 
at:http://www.plig.org/xwinman/vtwm.html

If you're after the smallest possible, fastest and easiest to configure window 
manager... then this is it. Where I work, I admin about 80 or 90 laptops, 
most of which run the TWM. Perfect for a low horse power box or a high horse 
power server, etc...

Cheers.
