[Bug 1358892] [NEW] somebody didn't like tom?

[gregrwm]

Public bug reported:

it was originally, and always will be "Tom's Window Manager".  what
tabs?  tabs where?  "Tab Window Manager" makes no sense.

after all these years what other window manager or desktop environment
does not steal your typing when new windows arrive, causing all manner
of annoyance when the ongoing typing goes into the new unexpected
window, quite likely dismissing it or approving some action before even
getting a chance to read it?  and numerous other features of twm are
still surprisingly unparalleled.  twm is not just still my wm, it's
still very significant.  trying to change the name is like trying to
forget about it and bury it.

tom's window manager is not dead, far from.  let's not bury the correct
name.
