fluxbox

Softpedia: "A few minutes ago, Clement Lefebvre and the hard working community behind the Linux Mint community announced the immediate availability of two new editions for the Helena release: Linux Mint 8 Fluxbox and Linux Mint 8 KDE64!"

GHacks: "Although Fluxbox might seem somewhat lacking in the features of a standard, modern desktop, don't sell it short.

Fluxbox is easy to use and doesn't suffer from the bloat of other desktops."
