NAME
     Nickleby - Window Manager for X11

SYNOPSIS
     nickleby [-d <display-string>]

DESCRIPTION
     Nickleby represents its author's idea of the simplest window manager that
     is still useful.

     *   Nickleby knows nothing about multiple screens.

     *   The keyboard input focus policy is sloppy-focus.

     *   Nickleby provides one desktop workspace.

     *   It is not possible to move or resize client windows such that any
         part of them moves offscreen.

     Window manager functions are bound to input events as follows:

     Mouse clicks over the root window:

         Button          Action
         Button1         circulate windows
         Button2         exit window manager
         Button3         fork an xterm

     Mouse clicks over client window titlebars:

         Button             Action
         Button1            click to raise, drag to move window
         Shift-Button1      ask client to close window
         Control-Button1    kill window
         Button2            lower window to bottom of stacking order
         Button3            drag to resize window
