Hello!

Olvwm, Solbourne's 15 year old extension for 'nomadic  
computing' (with a SPARC laptop) to olwm, the OpenLook Window  
Manager, could read an RC file with a simple syntax that told olvwm  
where, in which space, a client would open or whether it was sticky,  
i.e., followed from space to space. It also had a little floating  
window that represented all the virtual desktops and their clients  
and you could drag clients there between desktops, or by picking one  
desktop you were warped into that space. When clicking anywhere on  
the background, depending on the modifier held or the mouse button  
used, different menus could appear.

Olvwm has a lot of nice things.
