aewm - a minimalist window manager for X11 

SYNOPSIS

aewm[options...] 

DESCRIPTION

aewmis an X11 window manager with very few features. It draws a smalltitlebar above top-level windows, allows you to manipulate them with themouse, and starts other programs when the root window is clicked. That'salso about all it does, so don't expect anything nifty.

The titlebar contains a small box in the upper right corner. Clickingthe 1st, 2nd, or 3rd buttons on the main area of the titlebar willraise, move, or lower the window, respectively. Clicking on the box willrespectively hide, resize, or close the window.

By default, clicking on the root window with button 1 will runaemenu(1x),button 2 will runaemenu --switch,and button 3 will start a newxterm(1x).aemenu(or another equivalent program) is required to unhide hidden windows;aewmdoes not do this itself.
