Sawfish (window manager)
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']').
Sawfish is a window manager for the X Window System. It aims to manage windows in the most flexible and attractive manner possible. It matches a created window by multiple criteria, and automatically alters the window's position, sets the software theme per-window, or removes the borders entirely. There is a GUI configuration utility for users who do not wish to edit configuration files directly.
Sawfish uses a Lisp-like scripting language, rep, for all of its code and configuration, making it particularly easy to customize, or program many kinds of behavior, responding to window creation, deletion, or any other changes.

History
Sawfish was first called Sawmill. The name was changed because another software program had the same name. It was the standard window manager of the GNOME desktop environment until it was replaced by Metacity in Gnome 2.2.[3]
The development had stopped, but the community restarted it in 2007.
