I tried fluxbox out for the first time last night and I think I am sold
on it. It's so flipping fast (and I had been using Blackbox, which I
thought flipping fast).

I think the reason the light weights are light weight is because they
are mininmalistic and don't support a lot of these kinds of advanced
features. Gnome & KDE, of course, support this kind of stuff, but they
are not light weight by any means (and are more than just window managers).
