Opossum

Opossum is a minimal tiling window manager: a fork of Catwm.
This wm's named after the "living fossil" Virginia Opossum (Didelphis virginiana).
Like the wm's namesake survivor from the "Age the Dinosaurs", Opossum has
some evolutionary fixes in archaic behavior to prevent eX-screen-tinction.

Features

Corrected are gtk2/gtk3 dialog crash, numlock key locking the screen.
Tiling Modes are h/v/m.
