WINMAN(1)              UNIX System V(November 15, 1989)               WINMAN(1)


NAME
      winman - simple window manager

SYNOPSIS
      winman

DESCRIPTION
      winman is a very simple window manager.  It provides the basic window
      manipulation commands to move, resize, circulate, and iconify window.  It
      also allows you to designate a keyboard focos window, and to exec a new
      xterm.

      winman is designed as an example of Xlib programming, demonstrating some
      of the features of Xlib that are used only by window managers, such as
      how to draw rubber-band boxes, perform server grabs, etc.

      winman maps a permanent menu which it refuses to allow the user to hide
      (because there is no way to bring it back into view).

BUGS
      One font, one size, no command-line options, no color handling, no
      configurability, etc., etc. Also, the menu can be confused and disabled
      by rapidly clicking multiple buttons in several panes in quick
      succession.  This rarely occurs in use.
