I guess that I am bised, but it seems to me that, at least, fvwm,
fluxbox and icewm are not duplicate, and don't duplicate xfce/gnome/kde
either. And dockapps based desktop don't duplicate big desktop either.
I don't know WindowMaker, though.

I personally am interested in having xdm maintained, since wdm is based
on it. To be honest, I have asked the wdm maintainer to rebase on latest
xdm, but he still hasn't done it. But in any case wdm suits my needs 
much better than gdm (at least starts infinitely faster). I agree that 
xdm itself is a bit too minimalistic, especially since there is no 
simple way to change the session if I recall well.
