• synopsis

  theWitch is a window-manager switcher for linux and other X-server systems. So far, it has been developed and tested on RedHat Linux 7.1.

  theWitch has been tested on over 40 different window managers and desktop environments. ( See here.. )

  important design considerations are:
  
  

  • theWitch needs to be able to switch window managers on and off without disturbing the integrity of the user's application environment.
  • if something goes wrong with one of the window managers, then theWitch can get you out of that one into one that works.
  • you can almost always get theWitch to the top of the window stack.
  • the x-server remains responsive.
  • small footprint, fast response
