I don't think any of those are WMs. They are DEs. That is too high a level. You
need to figure out which window-manager is running and tweak it.

fluxbox, openbox, twm, fvwm, ... those are window managers (WM).
lxde, xfce, kde, gnome, cde, mate, ... those are DEs which run on top of a WM.

I was joking about fvwm - though I do use it occasionally still, more as an
example to show youngens that we had fancy stuff (opaque windows, virtual
desktops, custom menus, plugins, etc) in the mid-1990s for just a few hundred KB
of RAM.
