3 PerryLorier 17 ;-display host:display.screen:specify display to use. On multiheaded machines, WindowMaker will automatically manage all screens. If you want WindowMaker to manage only a specific screen, you must supply the screen number you want to have managed with the -display command line argument. For example, if you want WindowMaker to manage only screen 1, start it as: wmaker -display :0.1

25 !!!FILES
3 PerryLorier 26 ;~/[GNUstep]/Defaults/!WindowMaker:general WindowMaker defaults.
1 JaredWigmore 27
28 ;~/[GNUstep]/Defaults/WMState:information about the Dock and Clip. DON'T edit this while running WindowMaker. It will be overwritten.
29
30 ;~/[GNUstep]/Defaults/WMRootMenu:Contains the name of the file to read the root menu from or the menu itself, in property list format.
31
32 ;~/[GNUstep]/Defaults/WMWindowAttributes:Attributes for different application classes and instances. Use the Attribute Editor (right drag the application's title bar, select Attributes) instead of modifying this file directly. There are just a few options not available using the Attributes Editor.
33
3 PerryLorier 34 ;/usr/share/!WindowMaker/Defaults/:All the above-mentioned files are __read__ from here if not found except for WMState, which is __copied__ from here. No matter where they are read from, if it's necesary to write configuration changes back into these files, user's files will be written to.
1 JaredWigmore 35
3 PerryLorier 36 ;~/[GNUstep]/Library/!WindowMaker/autostart:This script is automatically executed when WindowMaker is started.
1 JaredWigmore 37
3 PerryLorier 38 ;~/[GNUstep]/Library/!WindowMaker/exitscript:This script is automatically executed immediately before WindowMaker is exited. Note: If you need to run something that requires the X server to be running from this script, make sure you do not use the SHUTDOWN command from the root menu to exit WindowMaker. Otherwise, the X server might be shut down before the script is executed.

3 PerryLorier 48 ;~/[GNUstep]/Library/!WindowMaker/Styles/:WindowMaker looks for style files here (not true... it looks like it does, but you have to specify the full path anyway, it's just a place to keep things nicely ordered)

61 !!!ENVIRONMENT
62 ;GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT:specifies the initial path for the Defaults directory. "Defaults/" is appended to this variable to determine the actual location of the databases. If the variable is not set, it defaults to "~/[GNUstep]"
63
64 ;GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT:specifies the location of the system-wide local [GNUstep] directory (this is useful, for example, in those cases where the system-wide location is really a network wide location). If this variable is empty, GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is looked for.
65
66 ;GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT:specifies the location of the system-wide [GNUstep] directory. If this variable is empty, it defaults to /etc/[GNUstep]

81 ''What's up with this[1]''
82 %%%''I meant for this page to wrap at a sensible line length. What's wrong?'' --JaredWigmore
3 PerryLorier 83
84 ''You had a very long line that began with a space, which disables wordwrap (and displays it in monotype, it's <pre> essentially) which pushed the edge of the page out, and everything wrapped at the (now very wide) side of the page. Fixed'' --PerryLorier
