Is it what it sounds > like, something along the lines of AIX desktop? tvtwm is a modified version of twm that has the same virtual desktop features of swm (Solbourne Window Manager). Basically the virtual desktop can be thought of as a large root window that you can then pan around in. For a complete description of the virtual desktop you can read "swm: An X Window Manager Shell" in the Summer 1990 USENIX proceedings. tvtwm is available on expo.lcs.mit.ed in contrib/tvtwm.tar.Z -- Tom LaStrange toml@Solbourne.COM
