xfce, its the new gnome.
Personally I use fluxbox. Fast, simple, intuitive. No clutter. The surprising thing about it is that if you give it to a technophobe, after ten minutes they are at home.
Personally, I use awesome, have a minorly customised config from the debian defaults, and stick with debian as far as possible (least likely distro to make horrific decisions for the users ever!).
OK - so my setup is marginally odd, such things as having xkb remap CapsLock to Meta4 for me... (who the heck needs CapsLock anyways? And that key tends not to move, unlike the "Windows" key that is by default bound to Meta4), I tend to have 2 terminals per "tag" in awesome terms, and have 9 "tags" to choose from - tag 2 is dedicated to a maximised browser, and tags 7-9 are floating workspaces (i.e. windows are resizable etc and it's not tiled). I find that this works better for me than having everything floating, and I know that on tag 1 I'll find IRC and my personal mail (in screen, on my vm), and on tag 3 at work I'll find my work mail. tag 2 is always a browser (maybe more than one), tag 7 tends to be a graphical IM client at work, and could be anything at home. 8 and 9 are just "spare" until I need it.
Thanks,
