+awesome highly configurable, extensible tabbing window manager
+
+awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window
+manager for X. It is very fast, extensible and licensed under the
+GNU GPLv2 license.
+
+It is primarly targeted at power users, developers and any people
+dealing with every day computing tasks and who want to have
+fine-grained control on theirs graphical environment.
+
+NOTE: To build/use this you need to rebuild Slackware's cairo enabling
+xcb support: you have to edit the SlackBuild adding the line
+
+ --enable-xcb \
+
+to the configure parameters. Do it at your own risk (it's not yet
+considered stable in the cairo shipped with slackware-14.0).
