IceWM is also small and rather nice; it's not as configurable as something like fvwm, but fvwm is daft because the configuration file is about nine megs :) Ice is Gnome-compliant, as well.
Yes, IceWM is an efficient and accessible WM.

I've just installed StarOffice on rorschach (my P166 laptop, 32MB), and it's horribly slow. I thought that it might be that it's not the fastest processor in the world, but perhaps it's just grotesquely inefficient or something. Anyone had any luck with it?
I reckon that it must be RAM as I run it quite happily on a P166 (actually AMD-K6 - 333.41 BogoMIPS) with 64Mb.
It is a little slow to start up (old hard disk) and it does appear to use a phenominal amount of memory (mostly shared I guess) as I think it runs six threads each of 30840 Mb showing up in a `ps aux`. However, it leaves about as much RAM available (with a fairly large spread sheet loaded) as Netscape 4.6 does (judged by using `free`).
I can never assess memory usage in Linux but it does work in 64Mb :)
