wm2

wm2 is a minimalist reparenting 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. Instead of icons, wm2 allows temporary hiding of windows from the desktop environment. Hidden windows can be recovered via a menu from the root window. It does not support interactive configurability, or provide a virtual desktop, and other features of modern window managers such as configurable root menus, toolbars, etc. Configuration options require editing and recompiling a source file and few options are available. This lack of configuration options simplifies using wm2, making it one of the easier to use window managers.

For the 1986 WWF pay-per-view event, see WrestleMania 2.

gollark: Wow! The coast shows *0* people.
gollark: There are upsides! For me, it's just intermittent, and with fewer users I can actually get eggs. In theory.
gollark: It works for me, but slowly.
gollark: It's lagging for me, yes, which is very annoying when I'm trying to get eggs.
