RE: [iPAQ] UWM -- the unnamed window manager

I can't believe that XWM isn't taken?
How about: Xtreme? Xpert? Xcellent? Xmas? X-Wants-Management? XML WM?
Hmm: Xanadu (an idyllic place)
Xenon (a gas)
Xenos (greek, a stranger?)

How about this (a little strange) Xuthus pronounced zoothus ancestor of the
Ionian Greeks (IONian? :-).
