I guess, twm is. And I also heard ion is a window manager
(not icon or menu, though ;-) of choice.

Midnight Commander? 
Maybe Bo M. was talking about gmc?

Anyway, it is interesting exactly why one need windows
(I do not mean MS Windows) to control a computer?
IMHO, it's the slowest way targeted to novices,
lowest common denominator, so to say.

Right now I am (trying) to use Nautilus under Gnome 
which was included with RH 7.2. Well, it's FUN. 
But it has nothing to do with usability.
For example, it's easy to play mp3-s in adirectory,
but what if I want to play mp3s in multiple _directories_?

mpg123 */*.mp3

So, it's two symbols more complex than:

mpg123 *.mp3

no need for a window manager when all I want is apply
a command to a set of files.

Interesting. You are lucky they do not use potassium cyanide.
