Sawfish (window manager): Meaning (information, definition, explanation, facts)

In Unix computing, Sawfish is a window manager for the X Window System. Formerly known as Sawmill, the program acquired its present name after legal problems.

Distinctively, Sawfish uses a LISP-like scripting language, rep, for all of its code, making it particularly easy to extend. For example, it can incorporate keybindings for XMMS.

Sawfish does not come with a panel and is often used with the GNOME desktop environment.

The latest released version, 1.3, was released on March 24, 2003.
