pwm (Pipa Window Manager)

A Penrose X11 Tiling Window Manager.

Named honouring my kitty Pipa; a lovely turtle female cat that has been with me for the past 14y and the brazilian name for paper kite;

The P came from diverse places, but the Penrose library couldn't be forgotten.

The WM you all know from where it came.
