cwm is a window manager for X11. It was originally inspired by evilwm,
but was rewritten from scratch due to limitations in the evilwm codebase.
The from-scratch rewrite borrowed some code from 9wm. cwm contains many
new features which all concentrate on the efficiency and transparency of
window management. cwm also aims to maintain the most simplest and
pleasant aesthetic.
as the INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts no longer distinguish between
the two types of files. Drop SUPPORT_FILES{,_PERMS} and modify the
packages in pkgsrc accordingly.
file's sole purpose was to provide a dependency on pkg-config and set
some environment variables. Instead, turn pkg-config into a "tool"
in the tools framework, where the pkg-config wrapper automatically
adds PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR to the environment before invoking the real
pkg-config.
For all package Makefiles that included pkg-config/buildlink3.mk, remove
that inclusion and replace it with USE_TOOLS+=pkg-config.
around at either build-time or at run-time is:
USE_TOOLS+= perl # build-time
USE_TOOLS+= perl:run # run-time
Also remove some places where perl5/buildlink3.mk was being included
by a package Makefile, but all that the package wanted was the Perl
executable.
make does not understand the "W" option in :C modifiers, and it
handles substitution in strings containing spaces somwheat differently.

The IceWM Control Center allows you to run various tools for
configuring IceWM's options.
It contains menu/toolbar editor, winoptions editor, keys editor,
themes switcher and some other tools. It supports themes, so you can add
new (or replace existing) tools and images.

USE_TOOLS and any of "autoconf", "autoconf213", "automake" or
"automake14". Also, we don't need to call the auto* tools via
${ACLOCAL}, ${AUTOCONF}, etc., since the tools framework takes care
to symlink the correct tool to the correct name, so we can just use
aclocal, autoconf, etc.
Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.

Provided in PR 29965 by Antoine Reilles, modified slighlty by myself to
look in pkgsrc and X11R6 directories when looking for window managers.
selectwm is a small application (using GTK+) which lets you select your
window manager. It looks for a file named .selectwmrc in the user's
directory which contains a list of window managers.
When you start X it should show a list which lets you choose your
window manager (by double clicking on it with the mouse or with the
arrow keys and the return or space key)
To use selectwm, replace the call to your window manager in your
.xinitrc or .xsession configuration file by a call to selectwm, e.g.:
...
# set a solid black background
xsetroot -solid black
# start selectwm
selectwm

* Changes since 1.3.0-rc2-beta2
** new format option %f
This options displays the frame number the window is in or a space if
it is not in a window.
** Super modifier changed from S to s. S is now the shift modifier
* Changes since 1.3.0-rc2-beta1
** New command 'set'
set replaces the def* commands. For example 'defwinliststyle column'
is now 'set winliststyle column'.
The old def* commands now alias to their 'set' version.
* Changes since 1.3.0-rc1
** Top level keymap
The keymap named 'top' is now a top level keymap. No prefix key need
be pressed to access its bindings. In fact, the prefix key is now a
binding in the 'top' keymap.
** hsplit and vsplit switched
To be compatible with emacs these command names have been
switched. The bindings are the same but custom scripts and aliases
will have to make the switch.
** new command defframesels
Allow you to customize the keys used to select frames with fselect.
** Xinerama support
Each xinerama screen is handled as X11 screens normally are. The only
different is that each xinerama screen can select from all the
managed windows.
** focuslast finds the last focused frame among all screens
** fselect selects from frames in all screens
** new command-line option --file
Used to specify an alternate configuration file.
* Changes since 1.3.0-beta3
** new configure option --disable-history
** new commands readkey, newkmap, delkmap, definekey
These commands operate on the new feature: keymaps. They allow you to
have nested keymaps.

launch applications.
wmDrawer is a dock application (dockapp) which provides a drawer
(retractable button bar) to launch applications.
- The drawer is retractable and animated.
- Several columns of buttons can be defined in the drawer.
- The configuration file is automaticaly reloaded if it changes.
- Multiple instances of the program can run at the same time.
- The buttons can be highlighted under the mouse cursor.
- A tooltip can be defined for each button.
- The drawer can be transparent (need SHAPE extension).
- Ability to launch several apps at once from the drawer.
By holding down the key Shift or by using mouse buttons middle or
right instead of left, you can keep the drawer opened.

pkgsrc-wip, as the program has changed a lot. So:
AfterStep is a window manager for the Unix X Window System. Based on the
look and feel of the NeXTStep interface, it provides end users with a
consistent, clean, and elegant desktop.
Some of the distinguishing features of AfterStep compared to other window
managers are its low usage of resources, stability and configurability.
problem was that the prototype used by this was not matching the NetBSD
one, which uses ``const char **'' as its second argument, when libiconv
and POSIX uses ``char **''.
This closes PR pkg/28693.
Bumped PKGREVISION to all icewm* pkgs for the bulk builds.
Skippy is what is best described as a full-screen task-switcher for X11. It
tries to provide an alternative when taskbars or regular task-switchers
aren't the most efficient way of switching tasks (like when you have a lot
of applications open). When activated (currently only through a hotkey), it
will arrange and scale snapshots of all windows on the current desktop and
it'll let you pick a window using a mouse or a keyboard.
It is pretty similar to a tool made by Apple, called Expose -

Skippy depends on a NetWM compliant window-manager.
