NAME

       lwm - Lightweight Window Manager for the X Window System

SYNTAX

       lwm [ -s session-id ]

DESCRIPTION

       Lwm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides enough features to allow the user to manage their windows, and no more.

       Windows	are  surrounded  by a frame with a titlebar at the top next to a small box. The frame is a grey colour for all windows except that
       which has the input focus, where it is black.

       In the default configuration, lwm uses the enter-to-focus scheme, where moving the pointer into a window gives that window the input focus.
       Lwm  may  also  be  configured  to  use the click-to-focus scheme, where a window must be clicked on (with any button) to receive the input
       focus. Clicking on a window in this mode causes the window to be raised. Note that a click used to focus a window is  always  swallowed	by
       lwm, so clicking a button in a new window requires two clicks.

       A  button  1  click  on a window frame brings that window to the top. Dragging button 1 on the frame of a resizable window repositions that
       edge of the window. If a corner rather than an edge is dragged, then both edges forming the corner are repositioned. While you're reshaping
       a window, a little window pops up to show you the window's current size.

       In the default configuration, button 1 on the root window does nothing.

       Button 2 is used to drag a window by its frame, repositioning the window but maintaining its position in the window stack.

       In the default configuration, button 2 on the root window brings up a new shell.

       A  button  3  click  on a window frame hides that window.  Pressing button 3 on the root window brings up a menu of all the hidden windows.
       Releasing the button while over an item will unhide the named window.

       A button 3 click in the frame while Shift is held down pushes the window to the back, under any other windows. (Users  with  4-button  mice
       are encouraged to use their fourth button for this function.)

       A click with any button inside the little white box in a window's frame can be used to close the window.
