There is also DamnSmallLinux.org  it is about a 50MB download, uses 
fluxbox and has a great set of apps included for its size.

I read somewhere yesterday that the panel can be configed via an XML 
file.  You can also right click on the panel and add app launchers, a 
clock, etc.   There are goodies and extra utils available from the 
xfce.org site.   Since the config is in an xml file you could 
conceivably copy the one in Morhix.

Those are a couple of good starting points.
