Qtile is simple, small, and extensible. It's easy to write your own layouts, widgets, and built-in commands. Qtile is written and configured entirely in Python, which means you can leverage the full power and flexibility of the language to make it fit your needs. NOTE: requiring rebuild Slackware's pycairo with additional configure option --enable-xcb. http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.1/source/l/pycairo
