No. You are confusing Window Maker with Afterstep which is based on FVWM. > and it was initially referred as WindowMaker, without the space.

In 1997, I believe the initial version was 0.10.0 (although it might have been billed as a developer's release), judging by the NEWS file in the source. The CHANGELOG is undated and the git log only going as far back as 1998. If we go by the git log, the initial public release was on Tue Sep 29 22:36:29 1998 +0000. > Additionally, if anyone knows if Window Maker was influenced by any > other window managers other than fvwm, I would be interested to hear > about them. Thanks in advanced. No, WindowMaker is a clone of the NeXTstep style UI. Charles -- "Whip me. Beat me. Make me maintain AIX." (By Stephan Zielinski)
