Overview
WMM, or Window Manager Manager, is a small X application which is meant start window managers.
It could of course start most any application, but has a feature which makes it suitable to debugging window managers: when mapped (e.g. if iconified when the window manager crashes) it will raise itself to the top of all other windows. So even without a window manager, with focus maybe locked on some unsuitable window, you can start a fall-back window manager and clean up the situation.
WMM is configured with ~/.wmmrc. For each non-blank line, not starting with a #, WMM will create a button. Each line should consist of two tab-separated fields, the first is the button label and the second is the command to run when the button is clicked. If the second field is missing, WMM will instead quit when the button is clicked.
