Openbox is my choice for a window manager.  Openbox is fast and small
and that well suits my minimalistic approach.  Openbox also provides
virtual desktops that are, IMO, indispensable to a graphical interface.

With Openbox there is no automatic method to create menus but the
configuration files are very easy to manually edit.  Once a basic
menu structure is established, a simple cut and paste operation can
be used to quickly update.

There is also a configuration tool available for Openbox, but since
I have never used it I cannot comment about it.
