KDE is a desktop enviroment. That's what the D and E stand for. Another
window manager you should check out is AfterStep, it is very similar to
Window Maker. It's very stable and fast, and development is happening on a
new version. It's nowhere near done, but it's gonna be very good, there is
an imaging library that comes with it that can outperform imlib in some
cases, worth checking out.
