This is actually what I'm planning to do firsthand, to see each WM's
look and feel, and maybe from there make a judgement on which one to
really use.

Based on some research I did through surfing, as well as the
recommendations of fellow pluggers, I've chosen to evaluate the ff:

Blackbox
FVWM
WindowMaker
XFWM (on XFCE)

I would try AfterStep too, but isn't WindowMaker a descendant of it?

Same thing with Fluxbox, which is based on Blackbox.

Thanks for the enlightenment, Rick.  I'll be keeping your post as
preliminary reference.
