I have used IceWM (http://www.icewm.org/) for years on an old P2
233MHz with 64Mb RAM. But you had to edit the menu by editing a text
file.
Ubuntu has a lightweight version (Xubuntu) which uses XFCE
(http://www.xfce.org/). You could download a xubuntu iso image and run
it from the live-cd to experience it's features.
XFCE seems to have a more active development (more recent releases)
than IceWM. That's also true for the e-builds:

HTH,
Martin
P.S. anyone noticed that this time I didn't forget to send only plain
text instead of all the HTML stuff? :-D
