fluxbox is very customizable. I just recently switched to fluxbox from xfce and like it very much. I think I have some links at my house so if i do i'll put them up later...

I'd suggest using fluxbox 0.9.9 (very stable although it's technically a beta) and aterm. Fluxbox transparency normally comes through whatever theme you're using (although they're super easy to make and modify), and aterm is made transparent either by command line options or through your ~/.Xdefaults file. Your first stops are the fluxbox documentaton: http://www.fluxbox.org/docbook/en/html/ and http://www.fluxmod.dk/
