Are there any good window mangers that look decent, or can be configured decent looking that work well with Wine, including switching between fullscreen and windowed modes?

I ask because the quartz-wm window manager thats default for X11 on OSX isn't good enough to go along with RandR.  Games that do not crash when switching back and forth will not decorate, or stop decorating... like moving from a window to fullscreen, it puts a window manager back over the whole top of the screen... something fullscreen moving to windowed doesn't ever start putting a bar at the top of the window making it stuck in place...

I know you don't technically need a window manager, and that fixes almost every problem with quartz-wm.. don't use it...  but that doesn't work perfectly either... because window focus is done in the window manager, so say I click on a window in the background, it will not come to the front and draw on top of other windows without a window manager... and it also looks extremely ugly...

I wanted to test out some other window managers, and am mainly wondering if there are any that people know are good that work well with Wine, specifically when switching between fullscreen and windowed operation... and hopefully that I can customize up a great deal to look how I want.
