The definition of window managerA window manager is a program
that acts as a graphical go-between for a
user and an
OS. It provides
a GUI for the OS. Some OSes
incorporate the window manager into their own internal
code, but many do not for reasons of
efficiency. Some OSes partially make the division. Some
common true window managers include CDE (Common Desktop
Environment), GNOME, KDE, Aqua, OpenWindows, Motif, FVWM, Sugar, and
Enlightenment. Some common hybrid window managers with OS
extensions include Windows ME,
Windows 98,
Windows 95,
Windows 3.1,
OS/2
and GEOS.
