evilwm is a minimalist window manager for X. The name evil
came from Stuart 'Stuii' Ford, who reckons any window
manager I use has to be evil and masochistic. This is not
the case at all, but I liked the name.
It features movement, killing, lowering, raising, and moving windows
by keyboard control. It supports virtual desktops.

lwm is a window manager for X that tries to keep out of your
face. There are no icons, no button bars, no icon docks, no root
menus, no nothing...
It's a tiny (less than 30k shared binary) and fast window manager.
Muffin is a minimal X window manager aimed at nontechnical users and is
designed to integrate well with the GNOME desktop. Muffin lacks some
features that may be expected by traditional UNIX or other technical
users; these users may want to investigate other available window man-
agers for use with GNOME or standalone.
Based on Mutter 3.2.1

This is a window manager based on the Qt library. It supports
icons, keyboard controls, and virtual screens. It comes with two
applets: a biff-like mail indicator and a clock, both designed to
be swallowed by its toolbar.
Caution! Killing this window manager will kill some of your X
clients (applications).

JWM is a window manager for the X11 Window System. JWM is written in C
and uses only Xlib at a minimum, though additional libraries are
supported for extended functionality and features. JWM supports MWM and
Extended Window Manager Hints (EWMH).
wmx is another window manager for X. It is based on wm2 and provides
a similarly unusual style of window decoration; but in place of wm2's
minimal functionality, it offers many of the features of more
conventional managers, often in the most simplistic implementations
imaginable. wmx is, however, still not configurable except by editing
the source and recompiling the code.
Guake is a dropdown terminal made for the GNOME desktop environment,
but you can run it with TWM too ;-), if you install ports/x11/trayer
or a similar program.
Its style of window is based on fps games, and one of its purposes
is to be easy to reach.
This is 9menu, a simple program that allows you to create X menus from the
shell, where each menu item will run a command. 9menu is intended for use
with 9wm, but can be used with any other window manager.
The idea of a command line menu generator is from xmenu, but xmenu is
exclusively a pop-up menu, not what everyone wants.
