Just curious, has anyone tried pekwm yet?

Haven't tried it. Yet, at least. Now that you have pointed it out,
I will probably give it a whirl. The site below has a comprehensive
list of window managers for linux, with links and brief comments.

It suggests pekwm behaves like a derivative of aewm++ with window
grouping like PWM and fluxbox. And no, I don't know what that means,
though he does say that he likes it.
Also, is it possible to make a LiveCD with a WM environment (not with
a DE)?
Of course it's possible. ;-) The question I think you are asking is if
there exists a mechanism to provide that easily, and I think the answer
is no. However, it should be possible to take the image of a desktop
iso that exists, mount it locally, copy it so it is rw, modify it to
your needs (change applications, configuration), and then recreate a
new iso from the modified copy. Burn to CD, and you then have your
custom live CD. I haven't actually done this, so theoretical musings
only, the implementation left as an exercise for the reader. :-)
