    5  		  The WindowMaker Prerefences Application
    6 		
    7 
    8     WPrefs.app is the preferences "editor" for the WindowMaker window 
    9 manager. It can be used to set most of the preference options of WindowMaker
   10 and define it's applications menu. It also can change some settings 
   11 that do not belong to WindowMaker. 
   12 
   13     Although WPrefs.app is designed to be easy to use, you should read the
   14 user guide to be fully aware of all available options and other features
   15 of WindowMaker that are not related to configuration.
   16 
   17     To run WPrefs, do not put it in your search path. Instead, run it
   18 with the full path, like /usr/local/GNUstep/Applications/WPrefs.app/WPrefs
   19 Then, dock it's application icon. The dock will automatically detect it's
   20 icon and use it.
   21 
   22     If you change configuration often, you might want to leave WPrefs
   23 always running, leaving it hidden while not in use. You can also make it
   24 be automatically started with WindowMaker and toggle the Start Hidden
   25 option in the attributes panel for the WPrefs window. Of course, it will
   26 use some memory, but by leaving it hidden it'll probably be swapped out and
   27 stay there until you unhide it.
   28 
   29     WPrefs is still under development. Some of the configuration options are 
   30 not yet configurable from WPrefs, notably the appearance related options.
   31 It might contain bugs that can corrupt your configuration files, so backup
   32 the contents of the ~/GNUstep/Defaults directory before using it.

   38 
   39     Like Window Maker, WPrefs is distributed with through the General Public
   40 License (as stated in the file COPYING). 
   41 
   42 The graphical artwork included with WPrefs is NOT licensed through the GPL.

   47 Notes
   48 -----
   49 
   50 The mouse speed configuration is saved as a call for xset in 
   51 ~/G/D/L/W/autostart. WindowMaker calls this file when it is started.
   52 
   53 If you don't want or can't use the menu definition section, do not
   54 open it's section (or if you do open it, do not Save), or WPrefs will
   55 overwrite your ~/G/D/WMRootMenu file.
   56 
   57 Only options that have different values than what is found in the 
   58 system-wide configuration file is saved.
   59 
   60 WPrefs only supports property list menus. If you have a plain text file
   61 menu, it will not be read by WPrefs. You can either recreate the menu from
   62 scratch or not use WPrefs for menu definition. The old menu will not be
   63 overwritten if you recreate it.
   64 
   65 
   66 Build
   67 -----
   68 
   69 WPrefs will be built automatically and installed with the rest of WindowMaker.

   73 Customized Installation
   74 -----------------------
   75 
   76 By default, WPrefs.app will be installed in the GNUstep applications directory, 
   77 which is /usr/local/GNUstep/Applications. If you want to install it somewhere 
   78 else, like in /some_weird_path/Applications, set the GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT
   79 environment variable to some_weird_path before running configure for
   80 WindowMaker. You can also configure Window Maker supplying the --with-appspath
   81 option to configure, like ./configure --with-appspath=/usr/GNUstep/Applications
   82 If you change your mind after installing, you can move the .app directory 
   83 to one of the following GNUstep/Applications directories:
   84 
   85 /usr/GNUstep/Applications
   86 
   87 OR
   88 
   89 /usr/local/GNUstep/Applications
   90 
   91 OR
   92 
   93 ~/GNUstep/Applications
