awesome highly configurable, extensible tabbing window manager awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X. It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the GNU GPLv2 license. It is primarly targeted at power users, developers and any people dealing with every day computing tasks and who want to have fine-grained control on theirs graphical environment. NOTE: To build/use this you need to rebuild Slackware's cairo enabling xcb support: you have to edit the SlackBuild adding the line --enable-xcb \ to the configure parameters. Do it at your own risk (it's not yet considered stable in the cairo shipped with slackware-14.0).
