'''swm''' (the Solbourne window manager)  is an [[X Window System]] [[X window manager|window manager]] developed by Tom LaStrange at [[Solbourne Computer]] in 1990. The most important innovation of swm was the introduction of the [[virtual desktop]]. It also introduced a primitive form of session management (restoring programs in use at the time of shutdown) to X.
