Hey, I like your reasons!  That's exactly why I run it!  Though I 
find the concept of considering MWM to be a lightweight window 
manager to be mind boggling, but today it is.  The other WM I've been 
known to use in the past couple years is TWM, but I really don't like 
it.

I'm not that lucky, I have to depend on a vendor.

Of course all this talk about lightweight Window Managers, and I'm 
writing this on a Mac OS X box which has one of the heaviest GUI's 
around (which is the one thing I don't like about it).
