libwraster3 0.92.0GPLWindow Maker Raster Graphics Library
Also known as libwraster, it is WindowMaker's core graphics and image processing system. libwraster is an optimized, fast, lightweight image library. It takes advantage of MMX optimizations (on systems that have support for it) to accelerate rendering. You can load a picture from a file easily with libwraster, and it has support for .gif, .jpg, .png, .xpm, .ppm, and .tiff at the moment. Support for other image formats can be added in the future. This package contains a shared library needed if you wish use WindowMaker.
WindowMaker 0.92.0GPLA window manager for the X Window System
Window Maker is a X11 window manager which emulates the look and feel of the NeXTSTEP (TM) graphical user interface. It is relatively fast, feature rich and easy to configure and use. Window Maker is part of the official GNU project, which means that Window Maker can interoperate with other GNU projects, such as GNOME. Window Maker allows users to switch themes 'on the fly,' to place favorite applications on either an application dock, similar to AfterStep's Wharf or on a workspace dock, a 'clip' which extends the application dock's usefulness.

At the film company DreamWorks, Ed Leonard has ported the entire graphics animation department to Linux; Shrek was created on a “renderfarm” (a powerful, refrigerator-size rack of servers) that had 800 processors running Linux. Leonard took the money he saved by not having maintenance contracts and used it to buy far more inexpensive Linux PCs. He says the money he has saved will allow DreamWorks to replace desktops and the renderfarm every two years instead of every five. — Scott Berinato
