David got these to compile for libc5!

This is a pretty small X-window manager (4X swm) modeled after
screen. I use it on debian. Is excellent. Almost all keybindings.
Hardly ever have to touch a rodent.

I have it for SW7.1 (or maybe the SW8.1 glibc) and it is less useful with Opera than is icewm, which can be used entirely via keyboard and lets you change focus whereas I needed to use a mouse in Opera with ratpoison.

You can run X programs without any window manager - check the archives.

I don't normally run more than one X program at once, but the menu can be handy.
I haven't tested them, but he hasn't failed yet.

David gets things right eventually, with user feedback, but you really ought to test things he compiles before relying on them since he can't test everything and sometimes things compiled with uclibc don't work quite right, such as xfbdev crashing badly when I switch vts.
