evilwm is a minimalist window manager for X. The name evil
came from Stuart 'Stuii' Ford, who reckons any window
manager I use has to be evil and masochistic. This is not
the case at all, but I liked the name.
It features movement, killing, lowering, raising, and moving windows
by keyboard control. It supports virtual desktops.

fluxter is a newer incarnation of bbpager, which is like the name suggests a
pager tool for Blackbox.
The major changes to bbpager are:
- Accesses fluxbox configuration files, e.g. in ~/.fluxbox, rather than in
blackbox directories.
- Default styles come from the fluxbox configuration. Without
customization it will track the look of the current theme.
- The configuration files have been renamed to fluxter.bb (used in a
fluxbox environment) and fluxter.nobb (used in a non-fluxbox
environment). These files should go in fluxbox configuration
directories, such as ~/.fluxbox.
- The X resource entries in the configuration files use fluxter as a label,
rather than bbpager.
- Per-workspace wallpaper changing is supported by the addition of
per-workspace rootCommand configuration entries. For example:
fluxter.workspace0.rootCommand: Esetroot /usr/share/pixmaps/bg1.png
fluxter.workspace1.rootCommand: Esetroot /usr/share/pixmaps/bg2.png
fluxter.workspace2.rootCommand: Esetroot /usr/share/pixmaps/bg3.png

.piewmrc and you will suddenly seeing lovely round menus.
It also has virtual desktops that you can "pull" things out, i.e.,
move the mouse into the virtual desktop window, grab a window with the
middle button, and move the mouse out, and then the window will appear
in the current screen. This feature is exactly the same as tvtwm.
