I still use fluxbox, it's great. It's so easy to configure and you don't need to know a language to configure most of it anyway. I've only gone as far as the menu config which is all plain english and custom theming. Fluxbox does what you want to do, I can't be bothered getting the hardcore WM's that a lot of people here use. I use autohide for the taskbar and it looks pretty sick.
