Heavyweight in the sense of resources required, or complexity, or what?

I got the impression that KDE was the one that everyone used.



Hmm, now a different thread, perhaps? Different WM's marketshare? It's pretty much "to each his own" out here, I'd say. (see my earlier).

Which window manager most closely approximates the GUI of traditional
UNIX workstations?



Well, once again, I dunno. I will mention that "AfterStep" is "NextStep"'s successor, I think.

Is it possible to install multiple X servers on the same machine so that
one can fire up whichever one strikes one's fancy at a given time?



I don't see why not, although it'd probably be more common to simply
kill one wm session and start another to save resources. Maybe it's
possible. I don't know if, since you've just one DISPLAY (in theory, anyhow)
you would configure it.


Hmm, just tested.  No can do, because just one DISPLAY.  Maybe some
X guru has a solution.  GNOME on ttyv1, fluxbox on ttyv2, term on ttyv3
etc., etc.... Would be pretty cool.

Now, if you have two video cards....
