Have a look at www.plig.org/xwinman/ It's down right now, but should be
up later today (aparently). Personally I like WindowMaker.
You are slightly confused though - fvwm95 and KDE are window managers and
not servers - the server depends only on the graphics card and is the
program that sits there listening for clients (eg window mangaers, xterms,
etc).
