We have many window manager packages -- fvwm, fvwm95, fvwm2, olvwm,
kde, even more -- just look under X11 on the website.
Basically, to change window managers, edit your ~/.xsession file, and
make the last line be the name of the window manager you want to run. For
example, here's my .xsession, which starts up a bunch of utilities and
then runs kwm:
#!/bin/sh
# .xsession script to start x

xset b 40 300 100 # change default system beep
xset +dpms # enable monitor power save mode
xset dpms 500 2000 3000 # set blank/sleep/off times for monitor
xset m 8 10 # set up mouse acceleration
kfm &
kdisplay -init&
kpanel &
krootwm &
exec kwm
NOTE that most entries end in "&" except the last one.
