I use debian stable, xmonad, urxvt, vlc, and mplayer. Everything just works with my setup and never crashes. I can replace xmonad with fluxbox and say the same.
It might not be pretty, but I NEVER EVER have to change anything at all. I can leave it on (and have) for a full year and have no problems.
Of course, with xmonad I have xmobar for the time and current desktop. Nothing else, all that takes up my screen space is windows.
Personally I think it's perfect, and I don't spend time looking at some pretty desktop eye candy anyway. I've used mac before and it's nice, but the window decorations just get in the way.
Want to never have to mess with anything? Get debian stable and a non-gnome window manager. Non-gnome because I've had crashes when gnome was involved even with debian stable.
