I think that both are true, whether you mind depends on YOUR
standards.  In any event, I recommend giving a few a try.

There are many Window Managers that allow for this kind of thing:
KDE/(pick a WM), GNOME/(pick a WM) or most WMs alone (including
afterstep :)  Again, I suggest you give several a try.  It's really
pretty painless to hop around for a few days.  You might want to
delete all the config files when you finally decide, though.  Some of
these guys can leave quite a lot of crap in your home directory.
