Oh man. I should have known, lol. Well I may need to consider a "rebranding". Thanks for pointing this out

Any other advice for checking for naming conflicts? I used github, google and repology.org and was excited when I saw no hits on the name. =S

If I google for list of X11 window managers "xwm", there's a reference in the first hit. The quotes around xwm are useful to screen out false positives.

ah. well my google-foo sucks. wikipedia even has an article. again, i appreciate you pointing this out. not sure what i will do yet though. :(

run a naming contest:

xwm2

x2wm

xxwm

newxwm

xcbwm

ywm

wwm

notxwm

nxwm

nwm

tinyxwm

txwm

txfwm

xcbfwm

oh god. commence operation “spam the random name generator”!

Taking a closer look at the original xwm, this project has long since been dead. i wonder if it would be fair to say the acronym itself could be used, as tribute to the original? or is that too confusing?

Go for “0xwm”, so it could be “Naught XWM”.

Naught ~ not. Sorry for the bad pun.
