Sawfish Description

Sawfish is an extensible window manager using a Lisp-based scripting language Sawfish is an extensible window manager using a Lisp-based scripting language. The project's policy is very minimal compared to most window managers.Its aim is simply to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. All high-level WM functions are implemented in Lisp for future extensibility or redefinition. Here are some key features of "Sawfish": · Powerful key-binding: Virtually every functionality provided by Sawfish can be bound to keys (or mouse buttons). · Event hooking: For many events (moving windows etc.) you can customize the way Sawfish will respond. · Window matching: When windows are created you can match them to a set of rules and automatically perform actions on them. · Flexible theming: Sawfish allows for very different themes to be created and a variety of third-party themes is readily available. What's New in This Release: Bugs fixed: · Prevents crashes for quick window destructions, especially under high load · There have been crashes if a window is destroyed soon after its creation. It happens in `add_window' function, and it might be due to a window being destroyed, garbage collected and then accessed. · Now most parts of `add_window' are protected from garbage collection with `rep_PUSHGC' / `rep_POPGC'. It also prevents `add_window_hook' from being called with uninitialised argument.
