A window manager is computer software that controls the placement and appearance of windows within a windowing system in a graphical user interface. A Window Manager runs over the Kernel graphical extension support "X" in Linux and is highly extensible. GNOME's metacity and KDE's kwin are examples of Window Manager for GNU OS Platforms. Microsoft Windows comes bundled with its own Windows Explorer.
