Bug Description

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.
