Lets face it, for a desktop machine the number one concern is the window manager.
I'm not so sure about that. The average end-user of a desktop machine doesn't know what a window manager is, doesn't know they have a choice of window managers, and generally just takes what they are given. If we are talking about desktop machines for Linux power-users then perhaps you are correct.
I am also confused as to why we call it a "window manager" still. A window manager just provides dressing for windows and defines some basic window behavior. Back in the days of fvwm, twm, olwm, etc. people talked about window managers because the "desktop environment" hadn't really been invented yet. But now it seems that most of us are talking about the latter when we say the former.
