-About:
-
-    Xmonad is a tiling window manager for X. Windows are managed using
-    automatic tiling algorithms, which can be dynamically configured.
-    Windows are arranged so as to tile the screen without gaps, maximising
-    screen use. All features of the window manager are accessible 
-    from the keyboard: a mouse is strictly optional. Xmonad is written
-    and extensible in Haskell, and custom layout algorithms may be
-    implemented by the user in config files. A guiding principle of the
-    user interface is <i>predictability</i>: users should know in
-    advance precisely the window arrangement that will result from any
-    action, leading to an intuitive user interface.
-
-    Xmonad provides three tiling algorithms by default: tall, wide and
-    fullscreen. In tall or wide mode, all windows are visible and tiled
-    to fill the plane without gaps. In fullscreen mode only the focused
-    window is visible, filling the screen.  Alternative tiling
-    algorithms are provided as extensions. Sets of windows are grouped
-    together on virtual workspaces and each workspace retains its own
-    layout. Multiple physical monitors are supported via Xinerama,
-    allowing simultaneous display of several workspaces.
-
-    Adhering to a minimalist philosophy of doing one job, and doing it
-    well, the entire code base remains tiny, and is written to be simple
-    to understand and modify. By using Haskell as a configuration
-    language arbitrarily complex extensions may be implemented by the
-    user using a powerful `scripting' language, without needing to
-    modify the window manager directly. For example, users may write
-    their own tiling algorithms.
