Chapter 3. Window Managers
and GNOME
About Window Managers
The window manager is the piece of software that controls the
windows in the X window environment. The placement, borders, and
decorations of any window is managed by the window manager. This
is very different from many other operating systems, and the way
GNOME deals with window managers is different from other desktop
environments.
As stated earlier in this guide, GNOME is not dependent on any one
window manager. This means that major parts of your desktop
environment will not change when you decide to switch window
managers. GNOME works with the window manager to give you the
easiest work environment you can have. GNOME does not worry
about window placement but gets information from the window
manager about their placement. The GNOME Pager will only work
with a GNOME compliant window manager as will drag and drop on
the desktop.
