Rep:
This was a hard one. For me, fluxbox, and thats the one I vote. This year I change a few times of window manager.
First Enlightment, its fast, nice, but hard to drive. That take me off from it.
Then metacity with Gnome, don't make me a great desktop, also, the velocity decreases a lot. So switch to the firsts alphas of xfce 4.
XFCE4: great, just what I was specting from a GTK2 WM. Great tools, nice manager, easy to configure an drive, but in a few months I get bored of it.
Openbox: I allways like *box, back in the days of slackware 3, blackbox drive me crazy ;-). But this was no so good, maybe in a few years...
Fluxbox: O_O, when I got it running (took me a time to get it as I like) is great, perfect I must say. First I toke a chance with the beta, but gkrellm was show on the taskbar so I say "let gets stable" , then 0.1.. Love it! Runs fine, managin it is fully aceptable, dockapping tools... got all, I don't know wath to say... try it!

Many of the window managers out there perform very well, but Fluxbox gets my vote as I have been able to tweak it to my taste w/ the least effort plus it's just FAST!
ohh shit,
*slaps himself so hard he falls on the floor*
kde is a desktop, not a windows manager?
is that right maybe thats why it isnt here, after kde winmaker and enlightenment are my next choices. But wait there desktops not windows managers, im confused
OpenBox got my vote, though I would have voted for FVWM if it were on the list. I went through the various *box WMs but settled on FVWM because with a little patience you can configure most every aspect of how it works. O.K. make that a lot of patience.

Window Maker and Enlightenment are Window Managers, not desktops to clarify this for you.
