No, each window has a title bar... in every wm I've
seen except 9wm. It's the title bar which contains
the buttons to minimize, kill, roll-up, or whatever.

If so, that obscurity would have to be lain at
Michael's feet, not Linux's. ;-)
I just remembered that on RH5.x you could do
'startx $(which fvwm2)' to start any wm you want, and
it still merges in your "preference" files.
In 6.x, you can still do that with
'xinit $(which fvwm)' but you only get the plain wm
without any xterm or xmailbox or anything else you
might have in your .Xdefaults.
