I have uploaded the source to gwm (the Generic Window Manager) to
sunsite.unc.edu. It is in the pub/Linux/X11/Incoming directory, and
the file is called gwmlinux.taz.  Unpack it in the /usr/X386/lib/X11
directory.
  This version contains several patches against the original source,
as well as Olaf Kirch's flex-compatible replacement for wool.lex.  You
need byacc to compile it (you can get it from tsx-11.mit.edu in the
/pub/linux/sources/usr.bin directory.  You'll need lha to decompress
it.)  You also need the X libs.
  It worked for me with Linux kernel 0.98pl5 and gcc 2.2.2d7.  If your
system is configured exactly like mine and the phase of the moon is
correct, it just might work for you too :-)

(from the official gwm README):
**************************************************************
WHAT IS GWM?
============

The GWM (Generic Window Manager) is an extensible Window Manager for
the X Window System Version 11. It is based upon a WOOL (Window Object
Oriented Langage) kernel, which is an interpreted dialect of Lisp with
specific window management primitives. The user builds a window
manager by writing WOOL files to describe objects on the screen,
including a Finite State Machine triggering WOOL actions on response
to X events (e.g. mouse buttons) on that object.  Theses objects can
used as decorations around X applications windows, as pop-up menus or
as independent windows.

GWM should be able to emulate efficiently other window managers, and play
the same role for window managers as EMACS does for text editors.
**************************************************************

GWM has a pretty good Motif window manager emulator, which is what I
use it for.
