message: how about splitting out some of this, and creating a "list of x window managers" page, with nice tables and comparisons (like so many other "list of" pages) 85.165.200.1 (talk) 18:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Centrx, isn't "window manager" unique to X? In other words, I don't see why move it when it's not namespace pollution. --Shallot 21:27, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

message: * a poll for favorite window manager, another poll by tech geeks, yet another poll, [one more poll]
Do we need the polls? I'm hesitant to remove them, so I'm leaving them for now.

message: I'd earlier proposed to merge the Virtual window manager article with the Virtual desktop article, but User:Jonabbey pointed out that it'd probably merge into this one better, which I agree with.  (Also see the VD talk page)  Are there any objections? Izogi 23:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I have the following issues with the "Compositing Window Manager" list which I am not sure are correct:
* Since the compositing window manager article exists, there should be a link pointing there. However, I am not sure if it would be fine to make the header a link or whether adding a reference to the main article would be more appropriate.
* It would seem that it should be a sub-section of "Popular X window managers", given that Luminocity is listed under the "Other X window managers".
* Metacity is listed both in the Compositing Window Manager" section and under the "Popular X window managers" one. However, other popular WM like Xfwm are listed only as Compositing WM. I would go for either mentioning Metacity only once, or if twice (Metacity and any other for which there would be a reason to do so), specifying in both entries the point at which it incorporate compositing facilities.

message: i deleted "The first approach to this new window manager model was larswm followed later by Ion. " from the tiling wm section. Tiled windows go back at least to the Xerox Star so it wasn't a new model (http://toastytech.com/guis/star.html)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by A plague of rainbows (talk • contribs) 20:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I would appreciate links in your window mangager pages 
to a story about how to program a C program
linked with Xlib to work with all or most window managers 
in a least-common-denominator style.  Specifically, I want 
to ask the window manager if I need to deal
with expose events or if the window manger will handle this, and
I want to know how to tell (i.e., what event chain I look for,)
when a user resize action is finished (i.e., when the mouse 
comes-up in the border.) [I only want to repaint the 
final re-sized window.]  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.205.3.84 (talk) 19:59, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Should this article go into more details on ICCCM and EWMH and how most X11 toolkits tend to have window manager support built in? Seems to be a bit light on the topic besides mentioning that the core X11 protocol doesn't cover much of the window manager interfaces and later briefly mentioning these standards. Also might be good to explain the relationships between a window manager and session manager. PaleAqua (talk) 20:19, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
