Configuration of JWM is done by editing ".jwmrc".  This file is XML
making it easy to edit, either by hand or programmatically. The

sure the configuration file is free of errors.  Otherwise you may end up
without a root menu.

.B ICONS
.RS
Icons for windows that don't supply an icon via the _NET_WM_ICON hint are
located by searching the icon search path(s) for an icon whose name
(minus the ".xpm" or ".png" extension) matches the instance name of the
window as returned in the WM_CLASS hint. If this lookup fails, a default
icon is supplied. This icon will be displayed for the window on it's title
bar and on the task list. Icons that are not an appropriate size will be
scaled. Square icons work best.
.P
For menu items, the icon path is searched for a match. the icon specified for
a menu item must be the exact name of the icon file with the extension.
If no match is found, a blank area will appear where the icon should appear.
If an icon is not specified for any menu item in a menu, no space will be
allocated for icons.
.P
Zero or more \fBIconPath\fP tags may be specified. The text of this tag is
assumed to be an absolute directory path to a directory containing XPM,
PNG, and/or JPEG icons.
When searching for icons, if multiple paths are provided, they will be
searched in order until a match is made.
Note that icon, PNG, JPEG, and XPM support are compile-time options.
