Sexy window manager browsing time again.

It used to be every few months, but now it's every other year, when I'd start browsing around for window managers, to see what people have done in that space. I don't mean the boring 'retread twm with the current graphics woohoo' efforts that are just obvious, like enlightenment, etc.

The ones that I'm most recently impressed with are the tabbed window managers (no, not twm!), like pwm, ion, and treewm. What's cool about these is that they fix multiple X clients in a single window, with a tab-like panel to switch between them. Treewm is especially cool in that, as its name implies, it permits you to nest virtual desktops within virtual desktops, so you can traverse down the branches of your over-virtual-desktop to node desktops. Yippee. Try finding my illicit webbrowsing in that! :P
