NAME

       aemenu, aepanel, aesession, switch-desk - programs for use with aewm(1x)

SYNOPSIS

       aemenu [--config|-rc <file>] [-s|--switch]
       aepanel [--config|-rc <file>] [-b|--bottom]
       aesession
       aedesk [-n <num>] [[+|-]<num>]

DESCRIPTION

       The  programs  listed  above provide several window and session management features to complement aewm(1x).  aemenu and aepanel launch pro-
       grams and raise existing windows (or unhide iconified ones).  aemenu uses a popup menu to accomplish this (the --switch option changes  the
       function of this menu), while aepanel stays on the screen inbetween uses (launching and switching functionality are both always available).

       Each  program  comes  in  both  a  GTK+	and  a	Xaw version; aemenu is actually a symlink to either aemenu-gtk or aemenu-xaw (likewise for
       aepanel).

       The list of programs to be run by both clients is read from $HOME/.aewm/clientsrc.  There are two kinds of directives that may be  used	in
       this file:

	      cmd "Description" "command"

       defines a command, which whill be interpreted by sh(1).

	      menu "Title"
	      (...)
	      end

       defines	a  submenu.  The  number  of  submenus	that  can be nested within each other is limited only by stack space. Double quotes may be
       included within quoted strings by escaping them with a blackslash ("), and quotes may be omitted around single-word descriptions  or  com-
       mands. Blank lines and lines starting with '#' are ignored.

       aesession  is a do-nothing program; it will simply reap any children it inherits and then sleep. By ending your $HOME/.xsession script with
       "exec aesession", you can exit and restart aewm(1x) without killing your X session. The author does not	really	expect	anyone	except	WM
       hackers to find this useful.

       aedesk changes to a new virtual desktop, specfied by num, or sets the number of available desktops, with -n.
