I'm all for open sourcing quartz-wm.
I wish we had a way to have borders around the windows, not just those
shadows. I'm tired of finding ways to configure all of my windows so that
I can see them even when there are dark ones. IE scrollbar, status line,
and folds for gvim, recompile xterm to get a white panel border, etc.
Oh and it would be great to be able to resize the window from anywhere in
the border and get rid of that pesky square in the lower right corner that
obscures the wondow contents. What other WM has window decorations cover
the actual window?
Alternatively does anyone know of a window manager that can be taught to
ignore the area under the OS X menu bar and when you iconify the window it
unmaps it from X11 and uses the OS X dock? Oh and have a borerwidth
option/resource or some such to get an honest to goodness border around
windows.

Ah... well hopefully it will be opened up some day... Unfortunately some
parts of it use apple internal APIs, so that needs to be gutted out and stuck
into libXplugin before it can be opened up.
As for options, there are only the ones in the man page... 3 of which can be
set from the X11 preferences pane in 2.2.0

libXplugin and quartz-wm are not open-source, sorry. Did you have
some specific question about it, or were you just curious?
I wanted to see if it could be changed to allow focus to be selected
using arrow keys in the 4 compass directions.
I guess I can run a different window manager that is more
customizable, and run quartz in the mode where it only manages the
selection buffer and cut-n-paste to OS X, but it occurred to me that
maybe it wouldn't be to hard to extend it.
Also, I was wondering if it had more config options than are
documented in its man page.
Cheers,
Sam
