Well, one of the rare window managers I'm able to safely use without
being guided :-), is ratpoison.  As I just look for a desktop
environment suitable for PDA, I'll look at matchbox too, thanks for
mentioning it.

Nevertheless I think setting up a safe and easy to use wm is easier than
finding out a safe application, the problem being that applications
typically provide a lot of key/mouse commands without obvious way to
disable them.  But I should look at gcompris first before thinking about
this further.
