 users, developers and any people dealing with every day computing tasks and
 want to have fine-grained control on its graphical environment.

 define the behaviour of your window manager.

 of Xlib for better performance, does not need mouse (can be fully keyboard
 driven) and implements many of the Freedesktop standards.
