I can't talk about others, but fvwm 1 does.  It can be more erratic than
the one in MS Windows (which works according to a pretty good system,
actually), but it's bound by default to Alt-F7 and Alt-F8... I also wish
Circulate-Up and Circulate-Down were inverses of each other.  That would
make me happy.
