JWM -- Joe's Window Manager

JWM 是运行于使用X11的GNU/Hurd、GNU/Linux、Minix、UNIX、类UNIX以及新兴系统HaiKu、plan9等操作系统上的窗口管理器。由于以上系统均为区别于Windows的UNIX系，所以简单地说，JWM是一个类UNIX系统上的窗口管理器。

My name is Joe Wingbermuehle. I was born in 1981 in Missouri. I graduated from UMR in May 2004 with a BS in Computer Science and a BS in Applied Mathematics.

Besides computers, I also enjoy reading science fiction, playing piano, and listening to classical and punk 音乐

2, libXext for the render extension

3, libXmu for drawing rounded windows (shape extension also needed)

4, libXinerama for Xinerama support

5, libXpm for XPM backgrounds and icons

6, libjpeg for JPEG backgrounds and icons

7, libpng for PNG backgrounds and icons

8, libxft for antialiased and true type fonts

9, libfribidi for right-to-left language support

JWM支持MWM和EWMH，当前版本为2.1.0。JWM编译后仅生成一个二进制文件jwm，附壁纸设置、任务栏、菜单栏、状态栏等功能。JWM启动后使用配置文件~/.jwmrc，假若~/.jwmrc不存在则使用默认配置文件为/etc/system.jwmrc。
