	you can ftp the packages for FVWM or OLVWM

FVMW:
Fvwm is a just another window manager for X11, which provides a simple virtual
desktop, a 3-D look for windows decorations, and shaped, color icons. 
It can be configured to use far less memory than twm, or to give a very 
good emulation of mwm. A nice button-bar can be used to provide 
convenient access to frequently used functions or programs.

OLVWM:
Olvwm (OPEN LOOK virtual window manager) is an ICCCM compliant window manager
supplied for use with the XView toolkit.  It is derived from olwm, the
OPEN LOOK window manager supplied with the XView release.  This version of
olvwm is based on version 3 of the XView release.

enjoy!
