this is a re-release (compiles via automake) of:

Tom LaStrange (et al) Virtual Tab Window Manager* , cira late 1980's

tvtwm is a small Viirtual Window Manager w/multihost panning deskops and a few other features

tvtwm's prize feature: a small window of the desktop on the deskop called a panner (or pager). A pager allows the desktop (or window) to slide on an infinite backdrop to reveal more desktop (ie, 20 desktop in size). The pager contains a mini interactive view of the larger "virtual" desktop.

Also: viewing other hosts as a virtual desktop is supported - by tabbing in between them. (X11 also supports each host runnign apps on the others' screen)

(* also from: uwm, twm, swm, X11, contributors, possibly mostly so)

notes: complicated m4 system feature is not currently working (linux) but automake configure makes the compile / install of this "classic Sun Site tarball" a breeze

$ sh ./configure --with-xpm --with-shape
$ make
$ make install
