My favourites:

* icewm - small memory footprint, easy to configure, can look like Win95
  for recent converts from Windows
  We run this on general purpose machines for people new to Unix

* Window Maker - still in beta, but it's stable, elegant and powerful
  The best window manager for all us who were too young or too poor to 
  buy a NeXt machine once upon a time...

Cheers
Graeme
