I got #awesomewm configured and running. I imagine its something I'll continue to play with. It's more flexible, but kind of a pain to configure. Considering this is a do-it-yourself to get the best results, I'm rather disappointed at the level of documentation. It's still fairly low-level, which puts this out-of-reach for n00bs. I could see someone developing a framework with config files to make this more accessible to a more casual audience.
