You could try xmonad, but I feel it's too damn fat (you need to install 500mb of haskell libs for a tiny little WM, seems backwards to me), and it never seemed to work quite right, especially with fullscreen flash. FVWM would be fantastic, but it doesn't really offer a sane default, and takes a hell of a lot of work to get anywhere near a basic Openbox configuration (trust me, I've been there). Fluxbox, for example, can do similar stuff, but it seems rather kludgy, and it doesn't space everything properly. The simple extensibility of Openbox, IMHO, makes it far better than any other floating WM. With this, you don't need anything like PyTyle to organize your screen space. I need to tweak my config a hair to remove a few lines for simplicity (I have an entry like this for each time I use the bind). This works on my netbook at 1024圆00, my laptop at 1366x762, and my 1900x900 desktop to make a window take up the left half of the screen, and the full width.
Why Openbox? Manual tiling, for starters. I'm actually setting it up for XFCE right now.
