Window manager w/gDesklets

I want to know if there is a window manager like Fluxbox or something similar that I can use that is fast but also allows for weather reports on the desktop like Gnome. I would like something to show me the weather, and system stats. What can I use?

People who use lightweight window managers tend to prefer text-based system monitors. The most popular one, as far as I know, would be conky (http://conky.sourceforge.net). If you do decide to use it, you can work with pretty much any window manager (Fluxbox included).

Another option for those using lightweight window managers is adesklets. If you use XFCE, I am sure gdesklets will run fine.

See, my biggest problem with Fluxbox was that I didn't have icons, also, I tried to install it and used the menu-generate command and didn't get anything. I don't know if I did something wrong or not. I would like to use Fluxbox again...(with some sort of weather desktop program if possible)
