I used for about a year IceWM and I loved everything in it (I always have a single window in full screen) besides the fact that it resized a simple modal boxes (e.g. firefox asking for proxy credentials) to full screen, which was really ugly.
If I would switch (from XFCE) to xmonad, would it do such strange things to small modal boxes? I don't like to split my screen, I always have windows if full screen.
Do you know about XFCE and Alt-F11? The Alt-F11 keyboard shortcut (and the corresponding title bar menu command) in XFCE remove the window decorations and maximise what is left, so you get (say) the Web browser menu bar right at the top of the screen and the window covers any panels top and bottom.
