I can't seem to find a window manager I like. I'm not actually picky on the appearance, so long as it's not garishly ugly (for example, any of the Enlightenment themes). I'm running unstable on every machine this matters for; I'm also willing to consider things that aren't (yet) packaged. Pointers to sites with nice comparisons beyond http://www.plig.org/xwinman/ are also welcome.
Requirements: -- Starts on every screen of a multiple-screen display. -- If a window resizes itself while being moved, notice this fact. -- Doesn't splatter things on the desktop. (Or can be configured not to) -- Supports GNOME window manager hints. -- Supports a two-dimensional virtual desktop setup. -- Snap-to-neighbor and snap-to-edge window dragging. -- Straightforward graphical configuration. -- Includes a root-window menu. Of things I've tried, fvwm2 is the only thing I've noticed that starts on every screen, though I haven't tried that much on my dual-head machine. The second item is probably a bug in sawfish I should get around to reporting. Enlightenment is ugly and segfaulted the second time I tried to start it. Window Maker can't be successfully convinced to not put anything on the desktop (the GNOME panel does that job well enough). Any hints/resources?
