     @iosefward I played with them for only a very short while but xmonad was decent. @mo6020 & @reality may have some insights.

     @rpcutts @iosefward Xmonad ftw, scrotWM if you can't bear the Haskell cfg file of xmonad tho..

     @mo6020 @iosefward Yes, XMonad is the way.

     @iosefward I use !wmii on the netbook. It's not very good at tiling but on a netbook you only want one window full screen anyway...

     @mo6020 didn't even know it was Haskell. Only that it was a little complicated.

     @rpcutts it's brain twistingly complicated when you first look at it, or at least I found it to be..

     @ushcompu I know it but I never actually tried. I'm constantly switching between dwm, wmii and xmonad and already can't decide..

     @navigium integrated systray, color and images in bar, lots of layouts, simple config, utf8 for bar and window title bars ;)

     @ushcompu Sounds a bit to un-leightweight for me ;) - but still, I might give it a try....
