*drool* Never thought I have monitor envy.... OK I've got to start fixing all those extra monitors I have now. Lord knows I've got enough old PCI video cards....
Windowmaker -- my fav, the one I use. xinerama support is sketchy, you have to really tweek your configs to get it to do what you want but it's VERY controlable and configrable. supports themes and has it's own set of application icons
Enlightment -- Pretty... graphic oriented, beautiful windowmanager however expect it to use 3x the memory of windowmaker... PER HEAD... yeah, it adds up quick... it's also hard to control the daemon.
ratposion -- don't use this unless you REALLY know what you are doing
black box -- no xinerama support, you are doing the configs on your own... very small fast windowmanager, supports themes, not as configurable as windowmaker, but not as large a config either
xpde -- windows xp emulator -- don't you dare!!
there are plenty of other ones... these are just some widly used ones.
I would suggest windowmaker.. ESPECIALLY for multi-head use because it's got the most configuration options, to do this you are going to need every one of them ;-)
