You may want to try dwm.
Low level interface, still based on X, but really tries to "manage" 
windows. (I really like the combination of dwm, links2, mutt, fetchmail 
and exim.)
You need to compile it yourself, since it's not included in Debian.

I uninstalled gpm a while ago, since I didn't had any uses for it in a 
plain console. I have to check the proper device file again.

Really?

Together with gpm it should work.
