You asked for it, you got it...... ;)

Packages for both available on my server:
http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/rule/RPMS/

icewm-1.2.7-2RULErh8.0.i386.rpm
icewm-l10n-1.2.7-2RULErh8.0.i386.rpm
icewm-themes-1.2.7-2RULErh8.0.i386.rpm
icewm-1.2.7-2RULErh8.0.src.rpm

qvwm-1.1.12-1RULErh8.0.i386.rpm
qvwm-1.1.12-1RULErh8.0.src.rpm

Both require imlib, and icewm requires libungif, both found on CD1 for Red 
Hat 9. The above packages were built on a Red Hat 8.0 system, but will 
work on Red Hat 9. 

My Red Hat 9 system is currently reinstalling due to a hard drive 
failure... Once it's back up and running, I'll rebuild specifically for 
RH9.

qvwm has animated desktop icons. I haven't looked to see if it is 
configurable. I find the icons exceptionally annoying.

Both window manages have a task bar that is similar to windows 95/98.
To use either on a slinky TinyX system, add a line to ~/.xinitrc, 
commenting out the existing window manager.
Like so:
- ----------------------------
# exec /usr/X11R6/bin/fluxbox
# exec /usr/bin/icewm
exec /usr/bin/qvwm
- ----------------------------

Let me know what you think.
