[opensuse-factory] Introducing Sawfish WindowManager to Factory
Hi, Shortly I wil be submitting sawfish and its required libraries for Factory inclusion, hence some background info. I have inherited the package maintenance from Vincent Untz [1][2] and the development is now in X11:windowmanagers taking place. Sawfish {3] is an extensible window manager using a Lisp-based scripting language. Its policy is very minimal compared to most window managers. Its aim is simply to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. All high-level WM functions are implemented in Lisp for future extensibility or redefinition. These are some of the features that set Sawfish apart from other window managers: Powerful key-binding: Virtually every function provided by Sawfish can be bound to keys (or mouse buttons). Event hooking: For many events (moving windows etc.) you can customize the way Sawfish will respond. Window matching: When windows are created you can match them to a set of rules and automatically perform actions on them. Flexible theming: Sawfish allows for very different themes to be created and a variety of third-party themes are readily available. Sawfish can be used as the windowmanager for the following desktop environments KDE, GNOME Togan [1]<http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2012-05/msg00179.html> [2]<http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2012-05/msg00191.html> [3]<http://sawfish.wikia.com/> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
