I would vote for WindowMaker. It is the only window manager I've found
that behaves with FreeBSD that is not also at the same time drab, boring
and user infriendly. I have not tried XFCE since I had to use CDE at
work :-( until I broke down and installed WindowMaker in my home
directory :-) I do use KDE at home though, and I wonder about the
reference to "amateurish". I find it to be quite professional, although
it doesn't always play well with non-Linux systems.
