Introduction
======================================================================
4Dwm is the window manager component of the IRIX Interactive Desktop
normally used on Silicon Graphics workstations running IRIX. 4Dwm is
derived from the older Motif Window Manager and uses the Motif widget
toolkit on top of the X Window System found on most Unix systems. 4Dwm
on IRIX was one of the first default graphical user interface desktops
to be standard on a Unix computer system. 4Dwm refers to "Fourth
dimension window manager" and has no relation to dwm.

Other X window managers that mimic the 4Dwm look and feel exist, such
as 4Dwm theme for IceWM and 5Dwm which is a clone/compatible
implementation of 4Dwm based on OpenMotif. 5Dwm support both the
classic SGI look and a modern/polished look and feel with anti-aliased
fonts and UTF-8 support.
