21 of the Best Free Linux Window Managers
,----[ Quote ]
| An X Window manager is software that manages the windows that applications
| bring up. For example, when you start an application, there will be a window
| manager running in the background, responsible for the placement and
| appearance of windows.
|
| It is important not to confuse a window manager with a desktop environment. A
| desktop environment typically consists of icons, windows, toolbars, folders,
| wallpapers, and desktop widgets. They provide a collection of libraries and
| applications made to operate cohesively together. A desktop environment
| contains its own window manager.

All window managers are not equal in screen redraw speed.
,----[ Quote ]
| I have been going through a stage of trying several different window managers
| and I found something that surprised me. The screen redraw speed of different
| window managers have a visual difference in screen redraw speed.
|
| For an example I spent several days using openbox and enlightenment as the
| window manager for KDE and as the sole window manager with nothing else. On
| all of them I ran mythtv for watching television.

The Big X Window Manager Guide (with Screenshots)
,----[ Quote ]
| So what are window managers? Officially, a window manager in GNU/Linux is a
| piece of software which controls placement and appearance of windows in a
| graphical user interface in X. So, what you get is a module which could be
| used in a desktop environment, or as a desktop environment (in conjuction
| with other modules, such as a idesk). All the WMs listed here can easily be
| obtained through your distribution’s respective repositories. You can also
| visit the project’s website and download the WM from there.
