Oroborus basically is a really minimalistic window manager, which is about
75kb small on a PowerPC machine and about 63kb on an x86 machine.
"Minimalistic" means that the Oroborus window manager doesn't provide some
things other window managers provide. So you will need some external tools
also provided by this project.

DeskLaunch is a small utility for creating desktop icons using pixmaps. A
simple
click will launch the desired application.

DeskMenu is a root menu program which is activated by clicking the root
window.
It is configured from a .deskmenurc file in your home directory. DeskMenu is
useful for window managers which do not provide a menu such as Oroborus.

KeyLaunch is a small utility for binding commands to a hot key. It reads a
configuration file in ~/.keylaunchrc. KeyLaunch uses Ctrl, Alt and Shift as
modifier keys, the hotkey is up to the user.
