Came across Matchbox, a window manager used on Linux PDA ports. Wondered if nayone had looked at this for DSL.

I've used matchbox several times with DSL, it works very well for kiosks and other "locked down" styled systems.

As a gui for a main desktop, you simply have to get used to the idea that all of your windows are maximized.

I'd say check it out, it's lightning fast and easy to theme.

Looks like it's also larger than the version of fluxbox that DSL currently comes with.
