PWM is a rather lightweight window manager that can have multiple client windows attached to a single frame. This feature helps keeping windows, especially the numerous xterms, organized.

BUILDING AND INSTALLING
You will need a C-compiler, gnu make :-(, BSD-compatible install and an
editor.
1. Edit system.mk to suit your system. If heavy modifications
are required, you might want to save the file somewhere for
future use (and hope that I don't change the makefile-system...).
2. If you want to customize pwm above what is possible with
pwm.conf, edit config.h (this step is optional)
3. make depend && make. Note that 'make' here refers to gnu make
which is usually named 'gmake' on systems with their own version
of make.
4. make install (not required if you manually setup configuration
files).
If you are using gnome or whatever that creature is called,
there is also 'install-gnome' target that should install the
file PWM.desktop somewhere. This does not mean PWM is gnome
compliant. It isn't and will not be, at least not before
there is a common standard with KDE. Disclaimer: I am pretty
indifferent about these DE's and this desktop-file is just a
contribution I decided to include.
NOTICE: PWM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT A PROPER CONFIGURATION FILE!
Without a configuration file no keys or mouse buttons will be bound to
any actions and you will get a black and white color scheme.
Either personal ~/.pwm/pwm.conf or system-wide $(PREFIX)/etc/pwm/pwm.conf
must exist unless another specified on the command line.
$(PREFIX) is the path where you told to install PWM in the Makefile
and the default setting is /usr/local.
CONFIGURATION
Have a look at config.txt and the default configuration files.
