Another vote for fvwm2. 

Like someone else said, fvwm does almost nothing by default, but boy
is it configurable :) And yes, it does support multiple desktops...
the only limit to how many I think is your RAM. 

You mentioned keyboard useable. I dunno if it will help, but my
old mouse/keyboard config is available here
http://www.math.princeton.edu/~wwong/fvwm/MouseKeyboardConfig.fvwm2rc
With my definitions I *can* use fvwm without using the mouse at all,
but I still use it to access the menu for convenience (the Menu key on
my laptop is not where one normally expects it to be). 

Just my 2 cents.
