I would appreciate it if folks would name for me any window managers
you are aware of that meet the following critiera:
1) provides virtual windows
2) does not need a root window in order to show window location and
size when moving or resizing windows
3) allows user customization of key strokes (for example, assign F9
to "Raise" and F11 to "Iconify")
4) provides focus-follows-mouse, without auto-raise
These are all features which I find highly desirable.
To my knowledge:
AfterStep satisfies all four
vtwm satisfies (1), and I think (3) and (4), but not (2)
Quartz-WM satisfies (2) and (4), but not (1) or (3)
olvwm, which I have used on Solaris boxes provides (1), (3), and (4).
I don't know if it provides (2) or if it has been ported to OS X.
Thank you very much!
