NAME

       oroborus - lightweight themeable window manager for X.

DESCRIPTION

       Oroborus  is a small and simple window manager which does exactly what it says it does, manage windows. There is no fancy doc, clip, wharf,
       or a root menu for that matter. These utilities can be provided by other programs such as "deskmenu". Oroborus has support  for	Gnome  and
       session management, or can be run as a stand-alone window manager.

FILES

       See oroborusrc(5) for details.

       -r, --file=FILE

       -r, --display=DISPLAY
	      use an alternative display instead of $DISPLAY.

       --sm-client-id

NAME

       deskmenu - A root menu for X

SYNTAX

       deskmenu <argument>

DESCRIPTION

       DeskMenu  is  a	root  menu  program which is activated by clicking the root window.  It is configured from a .deskmenurc file in your home
       directory, see example_rc for more details.

       You can use deskmenu for session management by making it the last line of your .xinitrc and using the --quit  command  line  option,  which
       adds a quit option to the menu.

       NOTE:  Deskmenu	will  do  nothing unless you have a ${HOME}/.deskmenurc file or a /etc/deskmenurc (/etc/deskmenurc.debian is automatically
       generated)
       This manpage is specific to the debian package of deskmenu.
       IMPORTANT NOTE: You have to set a keycode, when using this version of keylaunch, in your config file.

OPTIONS

       -b, --button=n
	      Sets which mouse button is used to invoke deskmenu

       -f, --file=n
	      Sets which config file will be used for deskmenu

       --quit-menu
	      Display a "Quit-Menu" in the deskmenu

       --verbose
	      Print more information

       -h, --help
	      Display a short help and exit

       -V, --version
	      Output version information and exit

       --display
	      Use an alternative display instead of $DISPLAY

       The most common ways of invoking deskmenu

       This manpage was written for the Debian GNU/Linux package of this program by Brandon L. Griffith <brandon@debian.org> because the  origonal
       program	did  not  include one. You are free to edit, translate, convert, or otherwise do anything you wish with this manpage. This program
       was patched with a diff from Martin Hedenfalk <mhe@hjome.se> to allow submenu recursion.  Updated and added to  the  official  deskmenu	by
       Stefan Pfetzing <dreamind@dreamind.de>
