Tab Window Manager

Twm (Tab Window Manager, or sometimes Tom's Window Manager, after the principle author Tom LaStrange) provides titlebars, shaped windows, several forms of icon management, user-defined macro functions, click-to-type and pointer-driven keyboard focus, and user-specified key and pointer button bindings.

Here is a screenshot (14k) of twm when using this twmrc file. Gripping stuff.

From brummelufs@hotmail.com: a slightly better looking screenshot (42k) and twmrc.
