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.
http://www.gilesorr.com/wm/table.html
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.

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. :-)
