=head1 NAME

B<wmname> - Prints/sets the EWMH WM name property.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

B<wmname> I<{[name]}>

=head1 DESCRIPTION

wmname prints/sets the window manager name property of the root window,
similar to how hostname(1) behaves.

wmname is a nice utility to fix problems with JDK versions and other
broken programs assuming a reparenting window manager for instance.

The following command prints the window manager name, if any:

# B<wmname>

The following command sets the window manager name, e.g.

# B<wmname LG3D>

This helpful when attempting to run java swing (broken) applications,
it makes them think they are running through the looking glass and behave
as expected.

=head1 OPTIONS

B<-v> prints the version number and exits.

=head1 AUTHORS

B<wmname> was written by Anselm R. Garbe (garbeam at gmail dot com).

This man page written by B. Watson for the SlackBuilds.org project. It
