CentOS - Nov 2017 - C6, lightweight window managers - opinions?

So, on my old Netbook, now happily running C6.9, I'm looking for opinions
for a lightweight window manager. Gnome surely ain't it....

Years back, I used to like IceWM, but not sure it's been kept up.

So, opinions?

I have an old Gateway netbook that runs XFCE and LWM just fine. It's 
Ubuntu, not CentOS however.? Granted it's a recent kernel and a heavier 
package size I would think.

I just looked around, and now I see - I'd need to install the epel repo,
which I hadn't gotten around to - to get xfce.

    mark "still prefer a menu on the bottom"--

I used IceWM a long, long, tried it recently - it's unchanged. Love it! :-)

Really? It didn't look like the executables had been updated in years. But
if they have, I *really* need to take a second look.

Thanks!
