Lite windows manager that can do the launch animation on click?
I have been using LXDE with Openbox on old computers. Everything run quiet well, but I find that newbies tend to click multiple times on application icons because Openbox does not give any visual feedback that an application is loading. So what happens is they end up launching five instance of Firefox because they did not understand that their first click on that little orange icon was successful.
Can anyone suggest a windows manager that will run fast on old computers and produce some sort of visual feedback when an application icon is clicked. Something like the that tiny animated circle that lets user know that the program has been launched and just needs time to finish loading.

WindowMaker. Clicked tile gets white for a moment -- additional clicks do nothing until application is loaded, since then they switch to already opened window. It is also one of fastest and smallest windowmanagers used today.
