Programming a Windows Manager
I considering undertaking a project to write my own windows manager for X11, based on my own (hopefully) unique ideals. However, I was thinking it would be a lot easier if I picked an existing windows manager for reference, so I could study its code and perhaps use it as a code base. However, there are so many now (FVWM, IceWM, Enlightenment, and so forth) that I'm not sure which would be a good one to work with. The ideal one would have relatively simple and straightforward programming (easy for me to understand) yet not contain many bad or obsolete programming practices.
So, I would appreciate any suggestions.
