NAME
wmanagerrc-update - update your wmanager settings automatically
SYNOPSIS
wmanagerrc-update
DESCRIPTION
The wmanagerrc-update program creates or updates the ~/.wmanagerrc file
with a list of X11 window managers currently installed on the system. On
systems that do not have a convention for registering X window managers,
wmanagerrc-update simply copies the contents of the ~/.wmanagerrc.user
file to ~/.wmanagerrc.
On systems that register the installed X window managers, the
wmanagerrc-update program adds all of them to the wmanager(1)
configuration so that they are available soon after installation.
Currently, only Debian GNU/Linux and similar systems that use the
update-alternaties(8) mechanism are supported. Locally installed window
managers and things not registered as alternatives for
x-window-manager(1) can be added to the file ~/.wmanagerrc.user in the
.wmanagerrc format; see the wmanager(1) README file, usually
/usr/share/doc/wmanager/README.gz, for more information. The
wmanagerrc-update program uses the entries first from ~/.wmanagerrc.user,
then from the the registered window managers, in the order of
update-alternatives(8) priorities. You can override this by listing
entries in wanted order in ~/.wmanagerrc.order, separated by whitespace.
BUGS
Concurrent wmanagerrc-update processes may clobber the .wmanagerrc file.
