I've been wanting to look at this for months, well before the port
was submitted here, but I can never find the time, so just some
quick remarks:
If it uses the 1.1 release anyway, it should just use the release
tarball
https://fastestcode.org/dl/emwm-src-1.1.tar.xz
instead of GitHub.
This is advertised as an mwm fork "without changing the way the
window manager looks and behaves". Well, it _looks_ different,
even after neutering app-defaults/Emwm. What's up with that? Also,
aren't those app-defaults intended as an example, rather than actual
defaults?
Resizing xterm is a crapshoot, because their is a size mismatch
between emwm and xterm. A default 80x24 xterm is "81x26" or some
such. This is a showstopper, IMO. I don't know whether it also
affects pixel-dimensioned windows.
On the plus side, it interops better with Firefox in at least two
regards:
* Maximizing the Firefox window correctly maximizes it.
(With mwm its extended to twice the screen height/width.)
* The PiP window can be moved.
