for RandR I use ARandR for a gui, or just used commands, or use my openbox menu items and hot keys I created, for my most common usage, which is to mostly to rotate the screen. There is also Drandr for use with dmenu, and urandr and xrandr guis.

I use blueman or commands for bluetooth. Also have some openbox menu items I created for some connections.

For networking I use netcfg with profiles for main networks and wifi-select for random wireless connects. There are guis for netcfg also but I don't use them.

Thanks for all the suggestions (you and everyone else). RandR seems to be the most troublesome part of the package. The GUIs people have suggested here aren't really as polished as the GNOME/KDE ones, but I'm happy to try them as I need to find a new desktop environment (again).
