This is not a feature of any particular window manager... usually, what
happens is that a desktop program is run that sits on and occupies the
root window. It manages the rubberbanding. I know that even if you run
fvwm2 on an SGI, you can still run IRIX's desktop without using 4Dwm. I
also would assume that you can run KDE's desktop without actually using
kwm as your window manager...
