Well, PWM doesn't have major clipboard functionality (in fact, none beyond
what X does on its own), but you can always run xclipboard.  :-)

It also doesn't have a built-in task bar, although it has a window list.  As
far as clocks go, it supports dockapps, so that works.  And it can be
entirely keyboard-controlled, so that's an easy way to switch virtual
desktops.

Editing the menus is fairly easy - you just have to restart PWM (via menu or
keystroke) to reread it, and that doesn't require logging out.
