Description

Fvwm is a very famous window manager for X, which provides a virtual/multiple disjoint desktop, a 3-D look for windows decorations, shaped/color icons. It gives a very good emulation of mwm. A nice button-bar can be used to provide convenient access to frequently used functions or programs.
