I think that both are true, whether you mind depends on YOUR
standards. In any event, I recommend giving a few a try.

There are many Window Managers that allow for this kind of thing:
KDE/(pick a WM), GNOME/(pick a WM) or most WMs alone (including
afterstep :) Again, I suggest you give several a try. It's really
pretty painless to hop around for a few days. You might want to
delete all the config files when you finally decide, though. Some of
these guys can leave quite a lot of crap in your home directory.
