NAME
       quartz-wm - Aqua Window Manager for the X Window System on OS X

SYNTAX
       quartz-wm [ --only-proxy ]

DESCRIPTION
       quartz-wm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides titlebars for X11 windows that aim
       to match the look and feel of native Mac OS X windows.  It  also  contains  functionality  to  bridge
       between the system pasteboard and the X server's PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selections.

OPTIONS
       quartz-wm accepts the following command line options:

       --only-proxy
               This  option  indicates  that  the  program should not attempt to manage any of the display's
               screens. However the selection proxying features will still be enabled, meaning that  a  dif-ferent different
               ferent  window manager may be used, but cut and paste will work as if quartz-wm were running.

       --no-pasteboard
               This option indicates that the program should not manage the cut and  paste  proxying.   This
               option  is  defaulted to on for newer X11 servers that support this functionality and off for
               older servers that do not.

       --prefs-domain <domain>
               This option can be used to override the domain used to read preferences from.  This is useful
               if you want to have multiple X11.apps running at the same time.

CUSTOMIZATION
       quartz-wm  can be customized using the defaults(1) command.  quartz-wm can be forced to re-read these
       preferences by sending it a SIGHUP using kill(1).  The available options are:

       defaults write org.x.X11 wm_ffm -bool true
               Enables focus-follows-mouse mode. Windows belonging to the X server may then  be  focused  by
               moving the pointer over them, as well as the default mode of clicking in them.

       defaults write org.x.X11 wm_click_through -bool true
               Disables the default behavior of swallowing window-activating mouse events.

       defaults write org.x.X11 wm_limit_size -bool true
               Limit the size of each window to the size of the current head.

       defaults write org.x.x11 wm_focus_on_new_window -bool false
               Don't tell X11.app to take focus when a new X11 window is created.

       defaults write org.x.X11 wm_window_shading -bool true
               Enables double clicking on a titlebar to shade the window

       defaults write org.x.X11 wm_auto_quit -bool true
               Automatically  quit  quartz-wm  (thus  shutting  down the X11 server) when the last window is
               closed.

       defaults write org.x.X11 wm_auto_quit_timeout -int 3
               Set the timeout for the auto-quit feature.  If wm_auto_quit is true, quartz-wm will wait this
               many  seconds  before  attempting  to  shutdown.   If another window is created in that time,
               quartz-wm will not shutdown.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       DISPLAY This variable is used to determine which X server to use.
