Window Maker

Window Maker is an X11 window manager designed to give additional integration support to the GNUstep Desktop Environment. In every way possible, it reproduces the elegant look and feel of the NeXTSTEP™ GUI.

icewm

IceWM is a window manager designed for speed, usability, and consistency.

Ice is written in C++ and is one of the lighter weight and simple window managers, although it is themeable and can mimic Windows or various other systems with various packaged themes.

Support for GNOME and KDE menus is embedded.

Configuration

IceWM configuration is controlled by home directory files: $HOME/.icewm, and /etc/X11/icewm for system-wide defaults. Home configurations take precedence over system-wide options.

File based configuration allows simple configuration of the window manager, through simple copying and text editing of these files or use of gui configuration applications.

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.

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).
