Window Managers and Debian Gnome

Window Managers and Debian Gnome
 
By the way, even Deluge torrent has some problems.
 
There are ton of Window Managers in Linux but only a few are functional.
As I have included them in my book "Linux Essentials" for the last two hours I have tried all of them available.
Most annoying part is inability log out from a session and mind you each of them ask for the password for mounting.

Things that do not mount in a Gnome session are;
Openbox
Dwm
Twm
Pekwm
I3
Ratpoison works only with keyboard. Does not configure mouse by default.
By the xmonad is NOT a Window Manager but probably a terminal emulator.


Things that DO mount in a Gnome session are; 
Original Window Manager WM
Awesome 
IceWarm
Fluxbox
 
They are not Desktops like Gnome or KDE but are useful in managing window decorations and look and feel of Windows on a desktop.

By the way, if you do not like Gnome try MATE (light weight) or Cinnamon Desktops.
I have all 3 of them and they have the log out feature by default.
