Icewm is light and fast but configuration and menus are managed by editing files.
You do not have to fill in menus manually. You can use something like MenuMaker to generate menu. It is not a bullet proof application and you will probably have to fix few things manually but it is OK.

It is not ported to OpenBSD (it is to FreeBSD and NetBSD/DragonFly) but if you look on ports@openbsd you will see that I was submitting working port in the past. If you edit Python preferences to 2.6 which is now default for OpenBSD you will be in business.

On CWM filling the menu is very easy as it is not XML crap but rather just a very simple text file
so you do not need MenuMaker.
