9wm: A Lightweight X Window Manager in the style of 8 1/2

[David Hogan dhog@plan9.cs.su.oz.au]

I have just released version 1.0 of my X window manager, 9wm.  9wm
attempts to capture the look and feel of the Plan 9 windowing system
"8 1/2".  This provides a minimal yet comfortable user interface.

9wm is particularly handy for users who are constantly moving back
and forth between Plan 9 and X windows, but it should also appeal
to non-Plan 9 users, particularly those who are sick of the amount
of time that certain other window managers take to start up ;-)

9wm should be appearing on comp.sources.x soon, if all goes well.  In
the meantime, you can get it via anonymous ftp from ftp.cs.su.oz.au,
in the directory /dhog/9wm.  9wm is freely available.
