I don't really know the various window managers under Linux as well as I should. But for info on LXDE you can start here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXDE

And you can look at the various Knoppix cheat codes in the desktop section, particularly the desktop= and 3d and no3d options.

One big difference between Knoppix and some other live disc distros like Linux Mint is that some distros release different ISO files for each desktop as well as different ISOs for 32 bit and 64 bit versions. Knoppix packs all of the options that it offers on one DVD. That may be good for easy testing of different start up options, it might be a negative when installing a lot of extra unneeded stuff and trying to maintain the system when upgrading. I really can't take advantage of these cheat codes myself, as my Knoppix system has a broken screen and the external monitor isn't viewable until after Linux boots, so no boot time cheat codes for me.
