Sawfish (window manager)
Sawfish, an advanced window manager for X, mainly runs on Unix and Unix-like systems such as GNU/Linux. Formerly known as Sawmill, the program acquired its present name after legal problems (can anyone detail the nature of them ?).Distinctively, Sawfish uses a LISP-like scripting language, rep, for all its code, making it very easy to extend. For example, it can incorporate keybindings for XMMS.
Sawfish doesn't come with a panel - however, it complies with GNOME, and often appears with this desktop environment.
The developers of Sawfish released version 1.3 of the system on March 24, 2003.
Can anybody add a history of the project?
