Those sure sound like likely candidtates. I've been using fluxbox
("son of blackbox") for a while and while there are some rough
edges, they're not rough enough to make me change it out. About all
I demand from a wm is multiple desktops and a button bar, and fluxbox
has all that.
Packages makes it pretty easy to testdrive a (small style) wm.
You spend a half hour with man setting things up, and that's that.
