I use fvwm, which has many nice features. You can put the executable
(say, fvwm) in any of the startup files (like .xsession) so that it
starts the wm when you log in. Though fvwm has some bugs, it is good.
Look at http://www.hpc.uh.edu/fvwm/ for details about fvwm.
I am sure there is a whole bunch of wms for SGIs.
And going back to the Pipewindow question, try any of the examples that
comes with Performer, by adding a PFPWIN_NOBORDER in it.
In one of the C- examples I just added one line of code (Mode) to get
the borderless window (of course, with appropriate wm settings).
