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. Drag‐
       ging  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  win‐
       dow 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  win‐
       dow 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.

OPTIONS
       Lwm accepts the following command line options:

       -s      specifies  a client ID for the X Session Management system, and
	       is used exclusively by session managers.

RESOURCES
       Lwm understands the following X resources:

       titlefont   font used in window titles

       popupFont   font used in popup window (menu/size indicator)

       border	   width in pixels of window borders

       button1	   program spawned when button 1 is clicked on the root window

       button2	   program spawned when button 2 is clicked on the root window

       focus	   focus mode, one of "enter" for  enter-to-focus  (or	sloppy
		   focus), or "click" for click-to-focus
