“There are, at my last count, three window managers with the
label PWM. There’s the Plate Window Manager, the Photon Window
Manager, and then this one, the construct of one Toumo
Valkonen.”
“PWM is described as a “lightweight” window manager for X, and I
believe it. After pulling the tiny little 78 Kb Red Hat RPM down
from the PWM site, I had it installed an running on my system in an
eyeblink. Binaries are also available for Linux Mandrake (stable)
and Debian (development), with the ubiquitous tarballs of source
available in both stable and development packages.”
“PWM is a very simple little window manager with one nifty
little feature: the capability to combine multiple windows into one
frame. While this may not seem like a big deal, I soon found it to
be very handy. All you do is grab a window’s frame with the middle
mouse button (or, in my case, the two-fingered maneuver) and drag
and drop the window control into the frame you want. Nothing could
be easier.”
