		Mosquito: A small window manager by Erik Thyrén, not to be confused with the beginnings of a GNOME-compliant window manager also called Mosquito by Michael Rogers, which seems to have disappeared.
		PWM: This is a lightweight window manager, which can frame multiple client windows within a single frame.

	X window manager - Wikipedia
		A window manager is software that controls the placement and appearance of application windows under the X Window System, a graphical user interface on Unix systems that enables a user to interact with a number of application programs simultaneously.
		Each one typically has its own independent window, and when a window manager is available, interaction between the X server and its clients is redirected through the window manager.
		Unlike the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows platforms, which have historically provided a vendor-controlled, fixed set of ways to control how windows and panes display on a screen, and how the user may interact with them, window management for the X Window System was an afterthought.

	PWM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		PWM was the first window manager to implement "tabbed frames" or the back then unique feature allowing multiple client windows to be attached to the same frame.
		Being a lightweight window manager with emphasis on usability, PWM discards some features common in window managers these days: only window shading in lieu of iconification is supported, there are no close and other window buttons (these actions are available conveniently through a menu), simple and elegant look instead of pixmapped themes, et cetera.
		While it is not as lightweight as the original PWM given its Lua scripting support, it is still more lightweight than most window managers out there and potentially supports many kinds of extensions, both as modules and as Lua scripts.

		Oroborus is a small, themeable window manager for X which provides all the necessary window management functions as well as a themeable desktop, full keyboard controls and virtual desktops.
		Subtle is a tiling window manager with a slightly different approach to place the windows: the placement is done by tiling windows that arrange every child window either in a horizontal or a vertical manner.
		Window titlebars are prevented from going off the edge of the screen by constraining the mouse pointer, and when appropriate the pointer is also constrained to the taskbar/menubar in order to make target menu items easier to hit.

		Most window managers provide additional functionality, like pop up menus in the root window, docks or launch buttons and some of them allow you to customize their appearance with themes.
		Window management is what it does best and it makes good use of desktop real estate without having to deal with issues like icons or taskbars.

	PWM (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		PWM, "the first tabbed window manager." Multiple windows can occupy the same space, with tabs in the title bar allowing access to each.
		PWM's claim to fame is its ability to let more than one window occupy the same space while remaining accessible through tabs.
		Attaching two windows together is done by middle-clicking and dragging a window's tab onto another window's tab.

		To be exact, Exposé is actually not a window manager, but a feature of newer versions of Apple's window manager for MacOS X. It does not try to arrange windows non-overlapping nor does it try to favor the keyboard in window management.

		While the original PWM, or PWM1, is no longer maintained, Ion, versions 2 and 3, can to some degree emulate this behaviour, and indeed provide nominal PWM2 and PWM3, although the bindings are different, employing prefix keys.

		Currently Konqueror windows are summarized in the taskbar -- the taskbar could just as well create a repositionable list of Konqueror windows that becomes visible as soon as you click the Konqueror main task in the taskbar (which would be the last window selected, or the first window in the order).
		PWM is a tabbed window manager - each window can have lots of clients running in it.
		Windows never seem to open up the same size, and there is little hierarchy between windows of the same application.

		Windows are placed in tabbed frames which may be arbitrarily split to create additional frames, making keyboard navigation much easier.
		There is also support for so-called "floating workspaces" where windows are managed the conventional way, so that you can still run applications which do not fit very well into Ion's window management approach.
		A pwm3 binary is included which starts Ion with floating workspaces as the default, thus replacing the now obsolete PWM window manager.

		He says he's working on a mode for windows that don't conform to standards and don't handle this forced maximization properly, but he makes it clear that the failing is with them, not with his window manager.
		The window manager is very keyboard-friendly and not friendly to mouse users: using the Gimp becomes an exercise in flipping between the keyboard and the mouse over and over again.
		If you use primarily terms and maybe a web browser or two and you want a window manager that can be run entirely with a keyboard, this is a great WM (expect to take some time to learn the keyboard combos).

	Ion
		In most common window managers and operating systems it is usually left for the user to attempt to keep the windows organised instead of the window manager.
		Attaching multiple client windows to a single frame (or "tabbing" them) as introduced in PWM helps keeping the windows organised in some cases but still, this does not help with programs that have multiple windows for manipulating a single document and the navigation possibilities are far from perfect.
		To ultimately solve usability problems to the extent possible with current technologies, applications should be written independent of their user interfaces and the UIs should be built according to the user's preferences based on a high-level semantic description of commands provided by the application.

		The idea is to make working with a lot of windows at the same time easier, without having to switch too much and often between the workspaces.
		So here's the solution; group the windows (xterms, netscapes, nedit windows or whatever) so it only takes up space like one, then have a little tab for each new window and when you click that tab it switches window.
		To move a window into another, to form a group, you drag it on the tab with the third (middle) mouse-button to the desired window to join.
