One answer to what I want out of my window manager is ‘fvwm’. It’s my current window manager and I’m not likely to switch to anything else because I’m perfectly satisfied with it. But that’s not a good answer, because fvwm has a lot of features and I’m not using them all. As with everyone who uses a highly customizable thing, my important subset of fvwm is probably not quite the same as anyone else’s important subset of it.

The 80/20 rule rears its ugly head.
