Matchbox Window Manager
An X11 stacking window manager designed for embedded devices, handheld computers, set-top boxes and kiosks with small screens or limited input. It provides compact window controls and focuses on integrating with a constrained device shell rather than offering a general-purpose desktop environment. Matchbox was developed as window management for constrained embedded systems rather than a full desktop.
