Micheal,
Gnome is not a window manager. It sits on top of a window
manager..... It provides funcionality that some window managers provide
and more. Gnome is a set of applications that facilitate configuration
of the machine.
It extends the window managers functionality.... WindowMaker is a good
choice to go with Gnome, because it allows you to remove funcionality
that Gnome duplicates. WindowMaker looks like Next. The man that wrote
AfterStep (Next like) gave up AfterStep(which was based on fvwm which
was based on ???twm???) and started from scratch on WindowMaker(WM). WM
has support for Gnome and KDE aware applications. The "dock" and "clip"
can be disabled during compilation so that Gnome will provide the look
and feel. 0.50.? was the current version when I installed in the last
month.
