Fvwm-crystal here from many years ago. Its application menu have full
support for the additional free desktop categories out of the box,
which make it the most maintenance free apps menu of all desktops.

Recent versions include a native support with nice 2 pictures icons for
the xdg-user-directories with any file manager you can think about,
inclusive console stuffs like mc (2 simultaneously with left and
middle click, + contextual menu on right click).

It is funny, fast, stable and don't bloat your system. Its memory
usage depend mostly on the modules in use into a recipe
(theme), more modules imply more memory, but the speed remain the same,
only the start time is different from one recipe to another.

Fvwm-crystal provide only a desktop and don't bloat in any way with the
system. It will be as secure than your system , your preferred file
managers, browsers, and other softwares are, not more, but not less.

A new version is in preparation for the end of the year or something
like that. It will add a new function (random loop wallpaper) and
contain a major and a few minor bug fixes.
