I found this site useful when I was first trying out different window managers:

http://www.plig.org/xwinman/

It's also not a bad idea to just browse the Window Managers section of freshmeat.net:

Apologies to anybody whose favorite window manager I have omitted.

Can anybody add any missing window managers?

There is also ION, which is really quite weird. Pekwm, which is really minimalist! SWM, which is also minimalist. Openbox, which, not suprisingly, is just like Black/Fluxbox. MWM is quite like Fvwm2, as far as I can tell.

How can I make it so I can automatically switch between window managers instantly in redhat... like I could on Mandrake?

Left off ratpoison. There's *nothing* more minimalist than that in X - it's 'screen' for X apps.

The site http://www.plig.org/xwinman/ mentioned earlier is one of the more complete window manager sites I know of, and it is the place I look when I want a description of a particular window or desktop manager.

Well, you could run your app in pure, unabridged X - no WM at all! But that's just silly... or is it? (cue evil cackle)
