You might be thinking about CDE. CDE is the commercial offering. KDE
is GPL. KDE is much more than just a window manager, though -- it's
a complete environment. Also there is GNOME, which comes with
RedHat, but it's not as far along as KDE.
KDE can be found on www.kde.org / ftp.kde.org.
Actually, people say that XFCE is close to CDE.
But here's one vote for KDE :) -- I've used quite a few different
window managers (twm, fvwm, TheNextLevel, AnotherLevel, afterstep,
and even enlightenment for a little while) but I finally settled
on KDE a few months ago.
