sawfish is an extensible window manager using a lispbased scripting language. its policy is very minimal compared to most window managers. its aim is simply to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. all highlevel wm functions are implemented in lisp for future extensibility or redefinition.

features:

powerful keybinding: virtually every function provided by sawfish can be bound to keys (or mouse buttons). event hooking: for many events (moving windows etc.) you can customize the way sawfish will respond. window matching: when windows are created you can match them to a set of rules and automatically perform actions on them. flexible theming: sawfish allows for very different themes to be created and a variety of thirdparty themes are readily available.
