I went pretty much the same way, but then one day I thought fluxbox was
kind of slow to draw menus etc... And I found openbox! It's fast, looks
just like fluxbox, except that it doesn't have the extra fluff. :-)
You may want to give it a try.
I was a long time fluxbox user, but I didn't really like the task bar.
I'd rather use something like WindowMaker, which manages windows more
like a Mac. I used WindowMaker for a while, but it didn't work well
with all programs. I finally found Enlightenment (pun intended).
It's very stable and has just enough fluff, in the form of user
feedback, so that it has a more solid feel than Fluxbox.
