I use scrotwm with dual monitors.
I really like scrotwm since it works well on even really old hardware.

I adjust to make home, end, delete=delete forward work in xterm
I force keypad to work numbers only
I use colorls
I have aliases to swap between english and spanish
I have emu card so I use aucatvol + a script to change volume to known 
levels.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion,
butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance
accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders,
give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new
problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight
efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
