since they are using gnome I would say they are:
1) using enlightenment (I'd say they'll go with this)
2) don't care about the wm (that's kinda hard to believe)
3) write their own wm (that's logical too, sice wm is prominent part
of user interface, but then again, there's a lot of existing WMs that
work OK and can be configured to be as easy to use as neccessary).
they say their first effort is shell/file manager, which I guess can
be fairly independent of wm (unless it's written by certain company that
just loves integration:-)
