This might be of interest to fvwm{2,95} users. If you particularly like
the flexibility of fvwm, but want a more powerful configuration
language, scwm may be for you. It obviates the need for hard to read
and difficult to improve configurations which aggressively exploit M4
(like my The Next Level setup).

Scwm 0.5 is released.
* What scwm is:
Scwm is the Scheme Configurable Window Manager. This is a highly
dynamic and extensible window manager (based originally on fvwm2, but
now much enhanced) with Guile Scheme as the configuration/extension
language. Nearly all decorations can be changed at run-time or
per-window, and eventually many decoration styles and additional
features will be supported through dynamically loaded code.
