- The correct title of this article is swm. The initial letter is shown capitalized due to technical restrictions.
swm (the Solbourne window manager) is an X Window System window manager developed by Tom LaStrange at Solbourne Computer in 1990. The most important innovation of swm was the introduction of the virtual desktop. It also introduced a primitive form of session management (restoring programs in use at the time of shutdown) to X.
Another window manager with a similar name is sWM or small window manager [1], developed for use in systems with little memory and small screens.
