As for openbox eating more ram than gnome , did u run it inside gnome or standalone?
Its known to be light. And gnome is definitely the bloated of the list.
JWM is good , but is supposedly hard to configure.

A Panel or Standalone tray is needed in Openbox , to keep track of apps that use the tray.

it was a typo. Openbox uses more ram than IceWM, not Gnome
JWM I heard uses XML files instead of easier to edit and well commented text files. So its out of my list.

I am sticking with IceWM because it has the simple bare necessities and nothing more, nothing less. It has a tray, a clock, a CPU monitor, a taskbar, a show desktop icon, buttons for terminal/run-command/firefox, a menu with programs and functions. Thats it.

Xfce may be better(correction: it IS better) if you use it as the only window manager, on a system like vector, but running it on ubuntu with a machine like mine is a pure sin.
