"PWM is a rather lightweight window manager. It has the unique feature
that multiple client windows can be attached to the same frame. This
feature helps keep windows, especially the numerous xterms, organized.
Being a lightweight window manager with emphasis on usability, PWM
does not have all the features that one might expect from a window
manager. Those features are simply unnecessary. PWM does not provide
pixmapped themes or other bloated eye candies but has a clean and
simple look inspired by BeOS and Motif. There are no icons and frames
cannot be iconified, only "shaded". Only one pointer focus mode is
supported: sloppy. PWM does not even have titlebar buttons and may
not be the easiest window manager to get into; most good things are
not.
PWM has workspaces, menus and Window Maker dockapp support. It has
pretty good keyboard support and almost all of the functionality is
configurable."
