ICEWM(1)                                                 ICEWM(1)



NAME
       icewm - a small and fast window manager

SYNOPSIS
       icewm [-display DISPLAY] [-c CONFIG] [-n] [-debug]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page documents briefly the IceWM window man-
       ager.   This  manual  page  was  written  for  the  Debian
       GNU/Linux  distribution  (but  may  be  used  by  others),
       because the original program does not have a manual  page.
       Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.

       The goal of IceWM is to provide a small, fast and familiar
       window manager for the X11  window  system.  Compatibility
       with  the mwm window manager is desired and will be imple-
       mented where appropriate.

       The IceWM is designed to emulate the look of  Motif,  OS/2
       Warp  4, OS/2 Warp 3 and Windows 95. Others might added in
       the future.

       It also tries to combine the feel  of  the  above  systems
       whenever it is compatible.

       Generally,  it  tries to make all functions available both
       by keyboard and by mouse (this is not  currently  possible
       when using mouse focus).

       Extreme  configurability  similiar  to fvwm and many other
       window managers is NOT the goal.



OPTIONS
       -display DISPLAY
              Set X display to DISPLAY.

       -c CONFIG
              Use configuration file CONFIG.

       -n     Don't use a configuration file.

       -debug Dump various debug information to stderr.

SEE ALSO
       The   original   documentation    can    be    found    in
       /usr/share/doc/icewm/  in  HTML and SGML format, or it can
       be accessed through the dwww system if it is installed.
