Window Manager Specification Project

The Window Manager Specification is meant to unify the GNOME and KDE window manager hint conventions. Most of the design work takes place on wm-spec-list@gnome.org; you can subscribe to this list in the usual way, by sending to wm-spec-list-request@gnome.org with subscribe in the subject. To post without subscribing, subscribe to the no-traffic post-only@gnome.org list.
