Can't believe you haven't listed ratpoison there. Very lightweight,
supports Xrandr, and importantly for a mouseless machine, is entirely
keyboard driven. Almost feels like it was written for
myth and I'd certainly prefer it to no window manager (which can have
focus issues sometimes).

Cheers,

Martin.
