Wm2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

wm2 is a minimalistic window manager for the X Window System written by Chris Cannam. It provides support for moving, resizing, and deleting windows, but does not support icons. In place of icons, wm2 allows for temporary hiding of windows from the desktop; hidden windows can be recovered via a menu from the root window. It does not offer support for interactive configurability (some configuration can be done by editing a file), nor it provides a virtual desktop and other features of modern window managers such as configurable root menus, toolbars, etc.
