9wm
A minimal X11 window manager that recreates the rio interface from Plan 9, including click-to-focus interaction and simple floating windows. It keeps the desktop surface intentionally small, leaving panels and launchers to other software, and is useful both as a lightweight manager and as a reference implementation. 9wm was written to emulate the rio window manager from Plan 9 on X11.
