Description : The Real Small Window Manager
(Include the long description here.)
sWM (the Small Window Manager) provides a very fast user interface and
features that are not found in other small-footprint window
managers. It was written for small computers with very little memory
and small screen sizes, is GNOME compliant, and supports pixmap based
themes.
Designed for very small memory usage, swm is entirely configured at
compile time. Version 1.3.x is configured by a script called
configure. If you like to know how you use sWM, take a look at
sWMdoc.png picture included in all sWM distributions.
sWM was written for small computer system with very little amount of
memory and small screen sizes. It was written to speed up working with
laptops or even PDA's. You need a minimum of about 12k of diskspace
(minimal mode). It uses even less memory than a rxvt.
sWM was successfully tested under Linux Mandrake 7.x/8.x/9.x, debian
2.0-3.0 and SunOS 5.6, but it should also run under other unices like
solaris, since it uses only Xlib & stdlib. (and optional Xpm-lib for
pixmap support)

Used together with sWMicons and the GNOME-panel - runs very fast.
