I've been a very happy user of IceWM (http://www.icewm.org/) with the 
Infadel theme. I'm also using it on my P133 laptop :) 

a) reasonable small footprint 
b) the only thing I use the mouse for is web-surfing. Sometimes also 
placing/resizing windows, though that can also be done from keyboard. 
c) whether it lives up to your definition of pretty, I cannot say, but I
pleased with the display (but my eyesight isn't exactly perfect either) 

I have set it up with ten desktop-views, which is easily switched 
between ... me happy
