NAME

       sawfish -- Sawfish window manager.


SYNOPSIS

       sawfish


DESCRIPTION

       Sawfish is a lisp-extensible window manager for X11. Its aim is to
       allow all areas of window management (decoration, manipulation) to be
       customized as far as is possible, yet still remain as fast as existing
       window managers.
