Sawfish

An extensible X11 stacking window manager whose policies, key bindings, menus and window rules can be programmed in Lisp. It is designed as a configurable manager rather than a complete desktop, giving users an interactive scripting environment for changing how windows behave. Sawfish was originally named Sawmill before the project renamed it.
