Here is a good review that includes most of the popular window managers. Also gets into the difference between a desktop environment (KDE) and a window manager (Window Maker). What window manager/desktop environment do you use? I am a KDE/Window Maker fan myself.

Window Manager

I too enjoy KDE/Window Maker combo. Though I do like some stuff Gnome has to offer.

I'm installing Helix GNOME right now (http://www.helixgnome.org) and I'll see what window maker(s) I can choose from.... don't know whats supported or what to choose yet.

I glanced over the article here, and have a question...

Does KDE have an option to use different Window Managers? If so, how do I switch?
