It's actually very easy -- right now I'm running twm (Tom's window manager)
from volume 1 of comp.sources.x.  For awhile there I wasn't running any
window manager at all, but I missed the ability to shuffle windows around.
twm let's me do that with a minimum amount of window doo-dads to chew up
what limited screen real estate I've got.

At the end of my ~/.profile I have:
	xinit -geometry +10+10 +sb -title ahh-xterm -n ahh-xterm -display unix:0

In the file ~/.xinitrc I have:
	twm &
	xbiff -geometry -10+110 &
	xlogo -geometry -10-10 &
	xphoon -t 60 &

The most difficult part is getting sources to whatever window manager
you want to use.
