As I continue my attempt to make PC-BSD the default OS on my machine, I'm looking at some Window Managers. X is interesting in that it is more of a graphical API rather than a whole usability idea, like Microsoft Windows. So there are many different "window managers" available for X, each of which have their own take on how windows and buttons and the like should behave. You can get monstrous big "Desktops" like KDE or Gnome, or you can get stripped down, minimal things like FVWM or Fluxbox. I played a bit with Fluxbox and found it interesting. I might try a few more, and here is a good page collecting all the various X window managers:
