KDE mascot Konqi and window manager.

KWin is a window manager for the X Window System and a Wayland compositor.[2][3] It is released as a part of KDE Plasma, for which it is the default window manager. KWin can also be used on its own or with other desktop environments.

KWin can be configured by scripting using QML or QtScript, both of which are based on ECMAScript.[4]
