Compiz is a compositing window manager that uses 3D graphics acceleration via OpenGL. It provides various new graphical effects and features on any desktop environment, including GNOME and KDE.
Compiz has a flexible plug-in system and it is designed to run well on most graphics hardware.
The implementation of Compiz is based on using the new GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension of Xgl, AIGLX or NVIDIA for binding redirected top-level windows to texture objects.
Refer to Compiz Fusion for comparison.
Karmen is a window manager for x, written by Johan Veenhuizen. It is designed to just work. There is no configuration file and no library dependencies other than Xlib. The input focus model is click-to-focus. Karmen aims at icccm and ewmh compliance.
