Ok, I don't know wm2, is it also stable and very similar to openbox?
Note, I mentioned "most likely", I didn't claim it is.

[root at archlinux moonstudio]# package wm2
Repository        : aur
Name              : wm2
Available Version : 4-2
Installed Version : error: package 'wm2' was not found

For Arch it's not available by official repositories. Juts 5 votes,
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wm2/ , maybe there is a reason for
this. I don't know.

Regards,
Ralf
