The sxwm package provides a simple X11 window manager, taking roots from DWM, tinywm, and other window managers.
Xorg Libraries and Xorg-Server (runtime)
Install sxwm by running the following commands:
make
Now, as the root user:
make PREFIX=/usr install
~/.config/sxwmrc. The default version
is in /usr/share and will
not be used. It can be copied to
~/.config/sxwmrc manually.
Create the configuration file:
mkdir -pv ~/.config && cp -v /usr/share/sxwmrc ~/.config/sxwmrc
Edit the configuration file as necessary to fit your workflow. You can read how to configure sxwm by running man sxwm.
If sxwm is the only Window Manager you want
to use, you can start it with an .xinitrc file in
your home folder. Be sure to backup your current
.xinitrc before proceeding.
echo "exec sxwm" >> ~/.xinitrc
