	X window manager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
