NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The programs listed above provide several window and sessionmanagement features to complementaewm(1x).aemenuandaepanellaunch programs and raise existing windows (or unhide iconified ones).aemenuuses a popup menu to accomplish this (the--switchoption changes the function of this menu), whileaepanelstays on the screen inbetween uses (launching and switchingfunctionality are both always available).

Each program comes in both a GTK+ and a Xaw version;aemenuis actually a symlink to eitheraemenu-gtkoraemenu-xaw(likewise foraepanel).

The list of programs to be run by both clientsis 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 bysh(1).

: menu "Title"
(...)
end

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

aesessionis a do-nothing program; it will simply reap any children it inheritsand then sleep. By ending your$HOME/.xsessionscript with "exec aesession", you can exit and restartaewm(1x)without killing your X session. The author does not really expectanyone except WM hackers to find this useful.

switch-deskchanges to a new virtual desktop, specfied bynum.It accomplishes this by setting the _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP property onthe root window.
