What is an alternative X window manager, supported by CentOS, that has very small memory footprint?
I want to avoid twm, because it defaults to interactive placement when not giving geometry options. No other requirements.

Within CentOS there's xfwm. If you're willing to look outside then there's matchbox and wmx.

dwm, fwm, xfce, fluxbox?
ps: your signature is very nice, but... ehh.... rings a bell?

I use XFCE for my resource starved environments (cluster simulations using virtualization environments). It works well and integrates nicely into the Centos deployments.

You found twm's 'RandomPlacment' unsuitable?
That's an even better answer. I did not read that far in the man page yet. Thanks for pointing it out.

I'm not sure what your standard is for "supported by CentOS", but Window Maker works well and is available from EPEL.
