No it's not. I've been using my current window manager for 2 years on a variety of different hardware and operating systems, and it has never crashed. Granted, that doesn't imply that it never will, but it will be a new experience if it happens in the future. In fact, no window manager I've ever used has ever crashed, with the notable exceptions of explorer.exe and progman.exe.
