Re: [arch-general] Openbox - great lightweight desktop, similar to icewm, but better in several regards

Excerpts from Andrei Thorp's message of Mi Jun 10 23:02:39 +0200 2009:

- Xmonad and Awesome are both initally based on DWM, though both of them now have almost none of that original code left due to it being not actually that great (plus the wms changed a lot)

Just to crush the urban myth that gets mentioned more than it should be recently: xmonad is not based on dwm. Yes, the idea of what should it do came from dwm, but it was written from scratch (in haskell, no C code ever).
