The sxwm package provides a simple X11 window manager, taking roots from DWM, tinywm, and other window managers.

Xorg Libraries and Xorg-Server (runtime)
Install sxwm by running the following commands:
make
Now, as the root
user:
make PREFIX=/usr install
~/.config/sxwmrc
. The default
version is in /usr/share
and will
not be used. It can be copied to ~/.config/sxwmrc
manually.
Create the configuration file:
mkdir -pv ~/.config && cp -v /usr/share/sxwmrc ~/.config/sxwmrc
Edit the configuration file as necessary to fit your workflow. You can read how to configure sxwm by running man sxwm.
If sxwm is the only Window Manager you want to use, you can start
it with an .xinitrc
file in your
home folder. Be sure to backup your current .xinitrc
before proceeding.
echo "exec sxwm" >> ~/.xinitrc
