2bwm
==========
A fast floating WM, with the particularity of having 2 borders, written over the XCB library and derived from mcwm written by Michael Cardell.
In 2bWM everything is accessible from the keyboard but a pointing device can be used for move, resize and raise/lower.
The name has recently changed from mcwm-beast to 2bwm

Notice that all those WM are really small and that size doesn't really matter in the end.
Still, I'll try to mess with it a little to make it smaller.
