window manager improved 2

wmii is the next generation of wmi. It is a highly customizable keyboard-and-mouse-driven X11 window manager that supports conventional, tabbed, and tiled window management with low memory usage and vi-like user interaction.

sawfish

Sawfish (the window manager formerly known as Sawmill) is an extensible window-manager using a Lisp-based extension language. All window decorations are configurable and all user-interface policy is controlled through the language.

Its aim is to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. As such it does not implement desktop backgrounds, application docks, or other things that may be achieved through separate applications. Sawfish is mostly GNOME-compliant; almost all configuration may be made through a graphical interface.

FVWM

FVWM is a multiple large virtual desktop window manager with very modest resource consumption but highly configurable. Once configured it will suit working habits like no other window manager.

It conforms to virtually all modern desktop specifications, supports transparency and antialiasing in every component. The backgrounds can be set on a per-desktop or per-screen basis with one of the many included modules.

Ion

Ion is a tiling (no overlapping windows) window manager that also has PWM-style tabbed frames which can contain multiple client windows.

PWM

PWM is a lightweight x window manager that can have multiple client windows attached to a single frame, that can be switched between via tabbing.

The author of PWM, Tuomo Valkonen, has ceased development on PWM and now works on PWM’s successor: Ion.

Although PWM is now no longer being actively developed, PWM’s tabbed windowing feature has been extremely influential and many other window managers have copied it.

ratpoison

ratpoison is a simple window manager with no large library dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no rodent dependence.

It is largely modeled after GNU Screen, which has done wonders in the virtual terminal market. All interaction with the window manager is done through keystrokes (the word rat refers to the mouse, which is not needed when using ratpoison).
