Pros:
Cons:
- You can't have same window manager with two or more different
configurations if you do not create separate script for changing of config
files.
- You can have only one .Xdefaults/.xresources -file and you must use it
with every entry if you can't create a separate script for changing of it.
- You must compile it. If you can't, tough.
- Not distributed under the terms of GNU GPL. It is just freeware. All
you can do is to download and use it and hope that nobody will not start
to distribute it as a proprietary program.
