I don't know what the wmaker plans are. Window managers that may
support the new stuff include openbox (or other blackbox variants),
metacity, KWin, fvwm2 (with some add-on module), icewm, waimea,
Sawfish, matchbox. I may be wrong or confused about some of those. I
would assume wmaker also plans to support it but don't know if anyone
has written the patch.
The original spec with most of the relevant stuff (version 1.1) came
out March 2001 so any WM that's remotely actively maintained should
work with at least the task list. Some of the details of the pager may
require version 1.2. See
