Or just:
apt-get install icewm

Comes up and works *right* out of the box, though it might not look
like everyone's first choice (the default theme is rather gray.)

You can add shortcut keys in ~/.icewm/keys:
key "Shift+Print"                               scrot -u -b
key "Print"                                     scrot

And all the default keybindings are in the example preferences;
there are plenty of features you might not know about:
$ grep Tile ~/.icewm/preferences
# KeySysTileVertical="Alt+Shift+F2"
# KeySysTileHorizontal="Alt+Shift+F3"

In other words, you can rearrange windows with alt+shift+F2-F5,
move the top window to any corner you like with the keys bound to
KeyWinArrange*, and so on...out of the box, no customization needed.
