That's a good question...
I started experimenting with different Window Managers long ago (10+ years)
and came across Enlightenment. Once I managed to get it installed
(no simple task back then) there was no turning back. It had graphics like
I had never seen. Virtual desktops, layers of backgrounds, very creative.
As time went on, the graphics (not the most stable) didn't mean as much as
functionality and configurability. I had also been using AfterStep
(under another login) which had a floating menu and retractable
icon blocks, completely configurable.
The best feature is the wharf file in which you can configure all the
icon blocks, where they are located and associated programs.
Your choice of Kwin (KDE) is awesome, well thought out and very intuitive.
When used as part of KDE, it can't be beat,
but not exactly my taste.
I enjoy loading a Window Manager that takes some time to figure out
(there are plenty of them out there).
