Description

Sets the window manager name reported to X11 applications, helping with compatibility cases where programs change behavior based on the detected window manager. It is useful in lightweight or unusual X11 sessions.

This is a small compatibility utility. It does not replace the window manager; it changes reported metadata, which may help or confuse applications depending on the workaround being used.
