Even better - fluxbox! Yay!
... I use alsa tools for volume control - I have them tied to keys like
this (and then no need for gnome-volume-control or pulseaudio!):
XF86AudioLowerVolume :ExecCommand (amixer set Master 5%-)
XF86AudioRaiseVolume :ExecCommand (amixer set Master 5%+)
XF86AudioMute :ExecCommand (amixer set Master 0%)
... no, it's not for noobs so be prepared to hack at the configuration
files.
