-Scrotwm is a small dynamic tiling window manager for X11. It tries to stay out
-of the way so that valuable screen real estate can be used for much more
-important stuff. It has sane defaults and does not require one to learn a
-language to do any configuration. It was written by hackers for hackers and it
-strives to be small, compact and fast.

-It was largely inspired by xmonad and dwm. Both are fine products but suffer
-from things like: crazy-unportable-language-syndrome, silly defaults,
-asymmetrical window layout, "how hard can it be?" and good old NIH. Nevertheless
-dwm was a phenomenal resource and many good ideas and code was borrowed from it.
-On the other hand xmonad has great defaults, key bindings and xinerama support,
-but is crippled by not being written in C.
+This package contains an example scrotwm.conf and shell scripts
+for it.
