that's what I use on the box at work. It pretty much sucks
except I like the cool "minimize" effect where it kinda
spins and shrinks down. :) I like its menubar better than
fvwm; fvwm menus...well, they're just fucked up.
Of the ones mentioned, I prefer enlightenment WM best.
I heard for a long time that WindowMaker is nice, but I
never tried it yet. The twm that millipede mentioned is
fairly minimal if you're into that; or maybe olwm. I tend
to agree with the minimal approach; on unix boxen at school,
I just have a black background and popup one xterm on login
(I use mwm (Motif window manager), but that's proprietary
I think).

While the brown ale he quaffed,
Loud then the champion laughed,
And as the wind-gusts waft
The sea-foam brightly,
So the loud laugh of scorn,
Out of those lips unshorn,
From the deep drinking-horn
Blew the foam lightly. --Longfellow
