    It's just the WindowManager of GNUStep, exactly like kwm ist the WM of KDE1 and kwin is the WM of KDE2 (or maybe more like sawfish is the WM for Gnome, 'cause thats not all that official).

    AFAIK GNUStep can be run without using WindowMaker and I'm deffinitley sure, that WindowMaker can be run without GNUStep (which makes it an excelent choice for low-resource-environments, which need X and where the users don't want to use something like fvwm or twm.)

    Indeed WindowMaker is probably the most exposed part of GNUStep (at least it is the only reason I ever looked at GNUStep).
