I've just made an initial release of my library 'wimpiggy', and I
thought some here might find it interesting to play with. (It's
numbered 0.0.3 because it branched out of a larger project.)
Basically, the idea of wimpiggy is to make writing your very own
ICCCM-compliant, EWMH-compliant, compositing, etc. etc. window manager
just as easy as writing any other app with PyGTK -- basically it takes
care of all the messy low-level X stuff, and you just connect to some
signals and pack some widgets to perform layout like any other PyGTK
app -- just now some of your widgets are application windows.
A minimal window manager is ~40 lines of code:

Any you can get it here:

As an initial release, there are plenty of rough corners, no docs, and
no guarantee I won't change the API around, but hey, share and enjoy.
