[iPAQ] window managers for the ipaq

hi,

I'm working on putting together a page about various window managers
for the ipaq.

In the interest of releasing early and often, and reducing potential
duplication of effort, I submit this status report.

I have built the following for the ipaq:

flwm
swm
sapphire
icewm

You can see screen shots at http://www.chron.com/spider/screens/

I have put some of them up for download at http://www.chron.com/spider/apps/wm/

icewm is not there yet because it requires many libraries the way I have
built it and I just haven't had time to put together a tarball.

I have included some preliminary notes and impressions at the end of this
message.

Dwayne

swm

oversimplified refresh behavior; windows do not refresh while dragging
no shaped windows(?)
very simple looking and working, but what do you expect for 17kB?

flwm
----
good offscreen menu behavior; menus auto-slide into full view
