You should try PWM.  It allows you to bind multiple instances of any X 
app to the same frame - so if you run a second instance of said app, 
it simply adds a new tab to the frame.  This is useful with xterm but 
madly useful with Netscape or Mozilla - middle-clicking on links 
doesn't litter your screen with extra windows.

pwm is also extremely lightweight - but then it doesn't do docks, 
backgrounds etc - you are expected to set that up yourself.

Windowmaker is lovely, yes.  Kterm will run under any Windowmanager so 
log as you have the core KDE libs installed - you don't need to run 
KDE to run most K apps.
