Window Manager Specification Project
The Window Manager Specification is meant to unify the GNOME and KDE window manager hint conventions. Most of the design work takes place on wm-spec-list@gnome.org; you can subscribe to this list at http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/wm-spec-list. To post without subscribing, subscribe to the no-traffic post-only@gnome.org list.
