About EMWM
EMWM is a fork of the Motif Window Manager with fixes and enhancements. The idea behind this is to provide compatibility with current X extensions and applications, without changing the way the window manager looks and behaves. This includes support for multi-monitor setups through Xinerama/Xrandr, UFT-8 and Xft fonts, multiple workspaces, and overall better compatibility with software that requires Extended Window Manager Hints.
Additionally a couple of goodies are available in the separate utilities package: XmToolbox, a toolchest like application launcher, which reads it's multi-level menu structure from a simple plain-text file ~/.toolboxrc, and XmSm, a simple session manager that provides session configuration, locking and shutdown/suspend options.
Notable features
An enhanced Motif Window Manager fork adding UTF-8/Xft,Xinerama,XRandR,and modern EWMH behavior without discarding the classic Motif interface.
