I don't think there is a default. But I can tell you that if you
want something small, try fluxbox-devel from ports, or one of the
other lightweight wm's available there.

x.org http://x.org I belive
it will install twm as a default WM.

I would try using packages to install window managers while checking things
out. You really do not gain that much by installiing things like this from
ports performance

x-11wm/icewm is cool. It's lightweight, seems stable, and looks very
attractive (imho). It's also quite easy for windoze people to relate to

None of the window managers are difficult to install on FreeBSD, but
some may be tricky to configure. Maybe most.

If you want a window manager, not a desktop, you don't want KDE.
That's a desktop/WM. My personal favorite for more than 6 years

Which window manager is the closest to classic UNIX window managers
(as opposed to wannabe Windows products)?
It's not clear what you mean by classic UNIX window managers - maybe
CDE or Motif?
Possibly. It could also be something primitive like twm, of course.
That's available in the Ports
won't be
using that.
How hard is it to _uninstall_ window managers and desktops?
Confronted with bewildering choices, I have Xfce downloading now; it
looked clean in the screen shots and apparently it doesn't require many
resources.
KDE looks awfully heavy and adolescent and I don't know that I'm

KDE looks awfully heavy and adolescent and I don't know that I'm
interested in something that tries so hard to be like
been OpenLook. Today, you'd
probably find KDE or GNOME on most systems (FreeBSD, Linux, OS X).
It appears that CDE is a strictly commercial package, so I won't be
using that.

Hello Xian,
sometimes using -Y instead of -X solves a lot of X11 forwarding
problems. Not sure if it would solve your problem, but did you try this?
If you use this in a multiuser
none of the windows have borders but it doesn't
complain.
I can do exactly the same things on a machine using XFree86 instead and they
all work fine. Do i have to tell xorg to allow remote window managers or
something? or dose it have a window manger built in that I have to disable?

i would like to know if there exists any fix for my problem here:
problem: apps like XV and MPEG_PLAY refused to open dialogs/windows
in any virtual window other than the one containing the origin
in window managers that support them (VTWM in my case).
