Same.

If they did a simple non tiling WM that had those little things in it and wasn't a piece of crap, I'd be there like a shot.

LXDE/LXQt is what I think of when I read your descriptions.

It's Openbox (which is a really capable, lightweight non-tiling window manager) plus a panel plus Xfce Power Manager and similar applications to handle the desktop environment stuff.

Thanks - will definitely take a look at that over the weekend. The lighter the better for me.
