I use OpenBox3, possibly the most minimalist WM that uses XML for it's configuration files. Then I add PyPanel for the 'where the hell is that app I started a few hours ago?' feeling. I use mrxvt instead of xterm for the tabbed virtual screens.
I like OpenBox3's menus, although you need a good XML editor to construct and edit them - they have a nice obstruse syntax. I use coreutils (ls,mv,cp,etc..) as my file manager. I try KDE and Gnome occasionally, but they are just too huge, and I don't like the look&feel of either. Why do they need so many background processes? X's cut&paste works as well as their drag&drop for me. UNIX's great step forward was the ability to string simple applications together to do complex useful things - Windows, Gnome and KDE seem to promote the monolithic applications.
