Some semantic confusion here. Desktop 'environments' like gnome and
kde come packaged with their own window managers (metacity and kwin,
respectively) but you may easily substitute any other window manager
that respects the ICCCM mechanisms because they all do the same basic
stuff -- some add extra stuff on top, of course. Metacity is billed
as "the window manager for adults" because it does *no* extra stuff :o)
