  1. UTILITIES FOR EMWM
  2. ==================
  3. xmsm is simple session manager that provides session configuration and
  4. screen locking and also launches the window manager and the toolbox.
  5. xmtoolbox is an application launcher/menu configured with a simple
  6. text file.
  7. It also communicates with the session manager to provide lock, log out,
  8. and shutdown commands.
  9. NOTES
  10. =======================
  11. The session manager may be run from XDM by setting the
  12. DisplayManager*session X resource in xdm-config to xmsession, or by
  13. execing xmsm from ~/.Xprofile.
  14. Just make sure to test whether it works by running 'xinit xmsession'
  15. before doing any of the above. Note that 'xmsession' is just a shell
  16. script that sets up the environment for xmsm, and is not needed when
  17. this has been done already.
  18. -
  19. xmsm is installed suid root, this is required for screen locking and
  20. running sbin commands. Privileges are dropped at startup and are
  21. reacquired only when necessary.
  22. -
  23. System shutdown, reboot and suspend commands can be altered at compile
  24. time only. Edit constants in smconf.h, or override them in CFLAGS if
  25. necessary.
  26. copy /etc/X11/toolboxrc to ~/.toolboxrc for per-user configuration
