>This spec defines interactions between window managers, applications,
|
||
|
|
and the utilities that form part of a desktop environment. It builds
|
||
|
|
on the ICCCM [2], which defines WM (window manager) interactions at a
|
||
|
|
lower level. The ICCCM does not provide ways to implement many
|
||
|
|
features that modern desktop users expect. The GNOME and KDE desktop
|
||
|
|
projects originally developed their own extensions to the ICCCM to
|
||
|
|
support these features; this spec replaces those custom extensions
|
||
|
|
with a standardized set of ICCCM additions that any desktop
|
||
|
|
environment can adopt.
