As long as we're plugging light-weight window managers, I'm
a fan of icewm.  

It behaves enough like an MS product to make it easy on
people who like that UI (which I do, oddly enough: I think
the keyboard shortcuts on 3.x-era Windows may be the only
thing that MS ever really got right... alt-tab switches
windows, alt-F4 zaps a window, alt-space opens up a window
menu pad, so "alt-space n" minimizes, and so on).

The most recent release of icewm seems to be junked up a bit
with more "theme" support, but it's still pretty good:

But if they keep going in this direction, I'm going to
switch to ratpoison:
