I would also like to try xmonad finally, but I've never been able to configure it yet. I have an ~/.xmonad/xmonad.hs file (the default one copied) that compiles perfectly, but if I try a startx the screen just stays blank, without logging any error in the Xorg.0.log.
Any idea of what it could be?
FYI from the Xmonad FAQ [1]:
"XMonad is a minimal window manager, meaning it doesn't set a background, start a status bar, display a splash screen or play a soothing sound effect when it starts up."
See [2][3] for more info on how to configure it.

Years ago I used Ion2. You might take a look at Ion3. It's another frame based WM. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion_%28window_manager%29 https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ion3 - Ralf
