+EMWM is a fork of the Motif Window Manager with fixes and enhancements.
+The idea behind this is to provide compatibility with current xorg
+extensions and applications, without changing the way the window manager
+looks and behaves. This includes support for multi-monitor setups
+trough Xinerama/Xrandr, UFT-8 support with Xft fonts, and overall better
+compatibility with software that requires Extended Window Manager Hints.
+Additionally a couple of goodies are available in the separate utilities
+package: XmToolbox, a toolchest like application launcher, which
+reads it's multi-level menu structure from a simple plain-text file
+~/.toolboxrc, and XmSm, a simple session manager that provides
+session configuration, locking and shutdown/suspend options.
