I visited my mother last week to help her setup her DSL

So out goes KDE.

I tried out the minimalistic ratpoison an ion wms and kind of like
them. At least they are fast. But they don't handle apps like gimp or xmms
to well. Now I'm looking something in  the middle ground.

Here are the requirements:

1) Must be able to "maximize window to available space" a la
  enlightenment.

2) Must support multiple sequence key bindings a la emacs.

3) Must be fast.

4) Must be faster.

I use fvwm2 and am quite happy with it. Also it fulfills all your
requirements (except maybe Nr 4.)

I use fvwm2 on a P-II-266 with 64MB ram with gimp and mozilla running and
there's no sluggishness or disk-swapping.
