On the poll on the LUV web site they have missed out the best window manager ever programmed. A lot of people regard it as old hat, this is largely to do with its standard config has not changed in around 10 years, so it looks something from the dark ages. I am talking about FVWM of course, its ____THE____ most flexible WM to config there is, there is almost nothing you cannot do in it as long as you are willing to dive into the config files, and this does apply to making it look top class . Its very flexibilty though makes it a challenge to config, but in the end its the ___ONLY__ window manager that one can change to suit you. Nearly every other one forces something down ones throat. Note FVWM does provide tools that help one experiment with the config. I am not trying to sell FVWM to anybody just mentioning a program I cannot get on without. Uisng linux for 21 years, Lindsay
Sawfish is another long-standing and highly configurable WM. It uses a variant of lisp under the hood.
