It is NOT a standalone XDM-like implementation, rather it takes advantage of
the modularity of GDM. GDM use special clients (gdmlogin or gdmgreater),
called "greeter" clients, to do the graphical part of a login.
The authentication, etc., is still done by the GDM daemon.
GDM communicates through pipes and a simple protocol with the clients
(check the GDMClient class and the list of opcodes to have a better idea).

The main challenge is how to track key and mouse input
and show minimature window.
Unlike AZDock, which is application-based, AZSwitch is window-based.
Therefore, they are not compatible to each other in implementation.

Ion is a simple but extensible Window Manager that is closer to
Ratpoison and PWM than to anything else.
With Ion, the screen is divided into frames, and each program simply
lives in the frame it's provided. All Ion commands are keyboard-based.
Ion is also highly configurable and extensible through Lua.
Think of Ion like an X11 version of Screen.

This is extermely unlikely to have been broken in practise, but it was
affecting pointyhat. I think I now understand why the correct way is
breaking my test script.

FreeBSD. The official GNOME 2.22 release notes can be found at
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.22/ . On the FreeBSD front,
this release features an updated hal port with support for video4linux
devices, DRM (Direct Rendering), and better support of removable media. Work
is also underway to tie webkit more closely into GNOME. As part of the
GNOME 2.22 upgrade, GStreamer received a rather large upgrade as well.
Be sure to consult UPDATING on the proper steps to upgrade all of your
GNOME ports.

If you're tired of flipping through themes like channel-surfing, and going
from one perfect-except-for-just-one-thing window manager to another
even-more-broken-in-some-other-way then perhaps Stumpwm can help.
Stumpwm attempts to be customizable yet visually minimal. There are no window
decorations, no icons, and no buttons. It does have various hooks to attach
your personal customizations, and variables to tweak.
* Hack the good hack.
* Debug your good hack.
* Customize your window manager.
While it's running. That's right. With a 100% Common Lisp window manager
there's no stopping the hacks. Just re-eval and GO!

may either run a program or simply write something on standard out. It is
inspired by, and is similar in function to, 9menu and ratmenu but is muchly
improved. It includes: User settings in X resources, long and short option
names (using getopts), scrollable menus (if they do not fit on screen), both
mouse and keyboard support, exiting on unfocus, and a decent manpage.

- Split evas and ecore to separate modules to handle dependencies properly
- Disable PAM in enlightenment-devel as it don't work anyway (requires root

operating systems. It uses following programs: FVWM as a window manager and
"main core", ROX-Filer as file manager (manages icons on the desktop), xterm,
aterm, mrxvt or urxvt as terminal emulators, MPD or XMMS as music players
(there's built-in support for controlling these programs), and several other
tools for different functions, like setting a wallpaper or making screen
shots.

GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).
The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and

Windows can be managed in several layouts: tiled and floating. Each
layout can be applied on the fly, optimizing the environment for the
application in use and the task performed.
Managing windows in tiled mode assures that no space will be waste on
your screen. No gaps, no overlap.
