<p>· GNOME</p>
<p><strong>Installation</strong></p>
<p>The simplest way to compile this package is:</p>
<p>1. `cd&#8217; to the directory containing the package&#8217;s source code and type `./configure&#8217; to configure the package for your system. If you&#8217;re using `csh&#8217; on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure&#8217; instead to prevent `csh&#8217; from trying to execute `configure&#8217; itself.</p>
<p>Running `configure&#8217; takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.</p>
<p>2. Type `make&#8217; to compile the package.</p>
<p>3. Optionally, type `make check&#8217; to run any self-tests that come with the package.</p>
<p>4. Type `make install&#8217; to install the programs and any data files and documentation.</p>
<p>5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean&#8217;. To also remove the files that `configure&#8217; created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean&#8217;. There is also a `make maintainer-clean&#8217; target, but that is intended mainly for the package&#8217;s developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for unix-like operating systems. Xfce aims to be fast and lightweight, while still being visually appealing and easy to use.</p>
<p>Xfce 4.2 embodies the traditional UNIX philosophy of modularity and re-usability. It consists of a number of components that together provide the full functionality of the desktop environment. They are packaged separately and you can pick and choose from the available packages to create the best personal working environment.</p>
<p>Another priority of Xfce 4 is adhereance to standards, specifically those defined at freedesktop.org.</p>
<p>Xfce 4 can be installed on several UNIX platforms. It is known to compile on Linux, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, Cygwin and MacOS X, on x86, PPC, Sparc, Alpha&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Here are some key features of &#8220;Xfce&#8221;:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>General</strong></p>
<p>· Freedesktop specifications compliance for Window Manager hints, menus, icons themes, XDG Basedir Specification, Xsettings protocol, drag and drop&#8230;<br />
· Real multiscreen and Xinerama support.<br />
· Support for &#8220;kiosk mode&#8221; in which the allowed user actions can be restricted in xfce4-session, xfce4-panel, and xfdesktop.<br />
· Development framework for applications.<br />
· Xft fonts anti-aliasing support.<br />
· You can install/launch each Xfce module separately. Very useful if you do not need them all or if you have very limited system resources.<br />
· More than 40 languages translations&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Libraries (libxfce4util, libxfcegui4, libxfce4mcs)</strong></p>
<p>· libxfce4util : library with non-graphical helper functions.<br />
· libxfcegui4 : widgets and convenience functions to create graphical user interfaces.<br />
· libxfce4mcs : settings management library used by most Xfce 4 components.</p>
<p><strong>Settings manager (xfce-mcs-manager and xfce-mcs-plugins</strong></p>
<p>· Provides the Multi-Channel Settings, a modular, host independent, network transparent and centralized configuration system. It runs in the background and provides global settings information to other Xfce components. There is a main control panel to access the configuration dialogs of Xfce components. Its icons are customizable. The MCS plugins provide settings dialogs for general items that are not part of a package, e.g. GTK, mouse, fonts, keyboard and display settings.</p>
<p><strong>Window manager (xfwm4)</strong></p>
<p>· The Xfce 4 window manager. It manages the placement of application windows on the screen, provides window decorations and manages workspaces or virtual desktops. Xfwm4 natively supports multihead mode. It provides its own compositing manager (a manager for the Xorg Composite extension, which brings true transparency to the Xfce desktop). The themes support image composition with PNG images as layers, which means that one can do gradients or anything else, and that applies to any pixmap that make the window frame. Xfwm4 includes a keyboard shorcuts editor. Moreover, users can shade windows and switch desktops using the mouse wheel.</p>
<p><strong>Panel (xfce4-panel)</strong></p>
<p>· The Xfce 4 panel. It provides both vertical and horizontal modes, a workspace switcher, a clock, an auto-hide feature, easy-to-setup detachable menus and application launchers, and a mail checker with mbox, Maildir and POP3 support. The panel supports transparency when the X Composite extension is enabled. It offers an easy way to add a plugin, using a dialog and mouse double-click. It&#8217;s compatible with the numerous plugins available from the Xfce Goodies Project page.</p>
<p><strong>Desktop manager (xfdesktop)</strong></p>
<p>· The desktop background manager. This program sets the background image and provides a root window menu. It includes gradient support for background color, saturation support for background image, real multiscreen and xinerama support, a desktop menu editor with DND support from xfce4-appfinder and .desktop files from Rox, Konqueror, Nautilus, Xffm&#8230; The desktop menu and the window list have optional support for icons, so you can use icons only if you want, and if your computer has enough resources to handle them. Moreover, Xfdesktop4 provides a desktop menu plugin for the panel: you can get standard menu from either the panel or the desktop.</p>
<p><strong>Utilities (xfce-utils)</strong></p>
<p>· Essential utilities and scripts. Provides a taskbar, an &#8220;about&#8221; dialog, a run dialog and several important scripts that are used by other packages including the panel (startxfce4, xfhelp4, xflock4, xfmountdev4, and xfterm4). Also contains the user guide. The taskbar includes an &#8220;always group tasks&#8221; option, a selectable left/center/right alignment and variable width, and a right-click action menu.</p>
<p><strong>File manager (xffm)</strong></p>
<p>· A fast file manager, with two independent panes, integrated samba network browser and mount/umount capabilities using fstab data. It includes an icon theme editor.</p>
<p><strong>Printing Helper (xfprint)</strong></p>
<p>· Print dialog. Provides a graphical frontend for printing. It includes xfprint4 and xfprint-manager. Xfprint can use either CUPS, BSD-LPR or a file as destination, and printers are retrieved from the printing system you choosed.</p>
<p><strong>Application finder (xfce4-appfinder)</strong></p>
<p>· An application finder, which allows you to search, launch and find information about applications installed on your system.</p>
<p><strong>Session manager (xfce4-session)</strong></p>
<p>· The session manager. The session manager controls the startup and shutdown of the Xfce Desktop Environment. On logout it can save the running application and start them again the next time you log in. It&#8217;s compatible with Gnome/KDE, supports multihead modes (Xinerama and multiscreen), doesn&#8217;t rely on smproxy (or any rewrite like gnome-smproxy), but provides (partial) session management even for non-sm or X11R5-sm aware apps. Moreover, it supports nice themes.</p>
<p><strong>Sound Mixer (xfce4-mixer)</strong></p>
<p>· A volume control for the panel. It includes a mixer dialog wich supports ALSA, OSS and Sun audio.</p>
<p><strong>Notification area (xfce4-systray)</strong></p>
<p>· Notification area (or &#8220;system tray&#8221;) for the panel.</p>
<p><strong>Toys (xfce4-toys)</strong></p>
<p>· Less serious utilities and additions for the panel. Contains a tips/fortunes dialog and an xeyes implementation for the panel.</p>
<p><strong>Calendar and Appointments (xfcalendar)</strong></p>
<p>· A simple calendar application with reminders.</p>
<p><strong>Toggle Button plugin (xfce4-trigger-launcher)</strong></p>
<p>· Provides a toggle button for the panel, showing on or off state. May be used for starting or ending network connections for example.</p>
<p><strong>Icon Box (xfce4-iconbox)</strong></p>
<p>· An icon box that can be used as an alternative for the taskbar provided in the xfce-utils package. Its transparency level is configurable when using the X Composite extension.</p>
<p><strong>Themes for the Window Manager (xfwm4-themes)</strong></p>
<p>· More than 60 window decoration themes for xfwm4.</p>
<p><strong>Icon Theme (xfce4-icon-theme)</strong></p>
<p>· Default icon theme for Xfce 4. It includes both PNG and SVG icons</p>
<p><strong>GTK Theme Engine (gtk-xfce-theme-engine)</strong></p>
<p>· A theme engine for GTK2. Not required for the desktop, but it&#8217;s a nice theme engine so you might just as well give it a try.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">fpcbol is a desktop user interface written for children and people who want simplicity and speed. fpcbol project is designed to be as beautiful and simple as possible.</p>
<p>It has no menus, just icons to click. It features parental control for children. It has been tested successfully on Debian, Mandriva, and Gentoo.</p>
<p>It works well on computers with low system resources (such as a 500Mhz Pentium). 3D acceleration is necessary for the optional transparency feature.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s New</strong> in This Release:</p>
<p>· Support of both compiz and metacity , you can change window manager just by clicking on an icone !, if one window manager doe not exist , just click on window icone in bol , and the god one will appear !!<br />
· You can now click everything on bol , every icone has an action<br />
· Largely improved install script (thanks to the guy who wanted to install bol and never arrived to do it)<br />
· New effects &#8230; icon rotation and other&#8217;s<br />
· And many other changes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">w9wm is an improved version of 9wm, the excellent 8-1/2 window manager emulation. It supports virtual screens as well as keybindings.</p>
<p>9wm is really nice for all day use provided that you do not have a large number of windows on your screen. But in some occasions it is not the case (ie. you have to telnet to 4-5 remote machines), which is painful with 9wm.</p>
<p>This need for virtual screens motivated this about 50 lines hack. w9wm brings support for virtual screens (provided you use the second button, aka middle button to select one virtual screen) as well as for key bindings (to switch from one window to another).</p>
<p><strong>INSTALLATION:</strong></p>
<p>Assuming your system is correctly configured, you should only need to run xmkmf to generate the Makefile, and then run make or make install. make install.man should copy the manpage (9wm.man) to the appropriate directory.</p>
<p>If the make fails, complaining that the function _XShapeQueryExtension does not exist, try removing the &#8220;-DSHAPE&#8221; from the Imakefile, and run xmkmf and make again.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t have imake, or it is misconfigured, or you would prefer<br />
not to use it, try copying the file &#8220;Makefile.no-imake&#8221; to &#8220;Makefile&#8221;,<br />
then edit the definitions in this Makefile to suit your system. This may require defining suitable compilation flags for your system (normally imake does this for you). For instance, on AIX you must include &#8220;-DBSD_INCLUDES&#8221; in CFLAGS.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">awesome is a tiling window manager initialy based on a dwm code rewriting. awesome is extremely fast, small, dynamic and awesome.</p>
<p>Windows can be managed in several layouts: tiled and floating. Each layout can be applied on the fly, optimizing the environment for the application in use and the task performed.</p>
<p>Managing windows in tiled mode assures that no space will be waste on your screen. No gaps, no overlap.</p>
<p><strong>Tiled layout</strong></p>
<p>With tiled layout, windows are managed in a master and a stacking area. The master area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the stacking area contains all other windows. The master area can be splited in several rows and column, as you want.</p>
<p><strong>Floating layout</strong></p>
<p>In floating layout, windows can be resized and moved freely, just like a usual window manager. Dialog windows are always managed floating, regardless of the layout selected.</p>
<p><strong>Tags</strong></p>
<p>Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with those tags. Each tag can have its own layout.<br />
Tags can be compared to virtual desktops, but it&#8217;s more powerful: you can quickly merge and show several tags at the same time, and go back to only one tag after.</p>
<p><strong>Status bar</strong></p>
<p>awesome contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout, the title of the focused window, and text read from standard input. The selected tags are highlighted with a different color, while the tags of the focused window are highlighted with a small point. awesome draws a small border around windows to indicate their focus state.</p>
<p>Every aspect of awesome is configurable via a configuration file: awesomerc.</p>
<p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Here are some key features of &#8220;awesome&#8221;:</strong></span></p>
<p>· Very stable.<br />
· No mouse needed.<br />
· Multihead support (Xinerama or Zaphod mode).<br />
· Some real transparency support (using Composite extension and xcompmgr for now).<br />
· Some XRandR support.<br />
· No Lua integration, no 9P support, no editable tagbars, no remote control, and comes without any additional tools.<br />
· Only a single binary.<br />
· No limit on its source size, awesome have features we want.<br />
· Doesn&#8217;t distinguish between layers: there is no floating or tiled layer. Whether or not the clients of currently selected tag(s) are in tiled layout, you can rearrange them on the fly. Popup and fixed-size windows are always floating, however.<br />
· Customized through editing a configuration file, which makes it extremely easy to configure. You don&#8217;t have to learn Lua/sh/ruby or some weird configuration file format (like X resource files), or recompile source code each time you do something:, just edit the configuration file, for god&#8217;s sake.<br />
· Reads from the standard input to print arbitrary status text (like the date, load, battery charge).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">gnome-desktop package is free software and is part of the GNOME project.</p>
<p>gnome-desktop package contains the libgnome-desktop library which contains APIs that really belong in libgnome[ui] but have not seen enough testing or development to be considered stable. Use at your own risk.</p>
<p>Also contained here are documents installed as part of the core GNOME distribution, e.g. a copy of the GPL, the gnome-about program, some manpages and GNOME&#8217;s core graphics files and icons.</p>
<p><span style="color: green"><strong>Requirements:</strong></span></p>
<p>· GNOME</p>
<p><strong>Installation</strong></p>
<p>The simplest way to compile this package is:</p>
<p>1. `cd&#8217; to the directory containing the package&#8217;s source code and type `./configure&#8217; to configure the package for your system. If you&#8217;re using `csh&#8217; on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure&#8217; instead to prevent `csh&#8217; from trying to execute `configure&#8217; itself.</p>
<p>Running `configure&#8217; takes awhile. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for.</p>
<p>2. Type `make&#8217; to compile the package.</p>
<p>3. Optionally, type `make check&#8217; to run any self-tests that come with the package.</p>
<p>4. Type `make install&#8217; to install the programs and any data files and documentation.</p>
<p>5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean&#8217;. To also remove the files that `configure&#8217; created (so you can compile the package for a different kind of computer), type `make distclean&#8217;. There is also a `make maintainer-clean&#8217; target, but that is intended mainly for the package&#8217;s developers. If you use it, you may have to get all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came with the distribution.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s New</strong> in This Release:</p>
<p>libgnome-desktop</p>
<p>· New GnomeBG API (Søren Sandmann)</p>
<p>Doc Translations</p>
<p>· Kalman Kemenczy (hu)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Metacity is a lightweight window manager written by Havoc Pennington from Red Hat. The first version was 2.3, which was released in 2001. Metacity is implemented with the GTK+ 2.x toolkit, and so integrates well with the GNOME 2.x platform.</p>
<p>In fact the intention is to remove the traditional separation between window manager and desktop, and present to the user a single desktop interface.</p>
<p>This means that the limited configuration options available for Metacity are shown as desktop options, not as Metacity options (although there is an optional &#8220;Metacity-setup&#8221; panel which conflicts with this approach).</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s New</strong> in This Release:</p>
<p>Thanks to Iain Holmes and Thomas Thurman for improvements in this version. This contains the new compositor; downstream maintainers should note that its GConf key is initially turned off in src/metacity.schemas.in and consider whether to turn it on by default in their packages.</p>
<p>· merge compositor branch! (Iain) (499081)<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">miwm is a minimalist window manager with virtual workspaces. miwm is written in C++, for the X window system.</p>
<p>miwm is the &#8220;Microscopic Window Manager&#8221;. A major goal is to keep it as clean as possible, while making daily use easy. This means getting a small, versatile set of core window management functions. Judge our success for yourself! miwm is written in C++, and incorporating lessons from LWM, AWM, WMX, BlackBox, and UDE. Example code was lifted from AWM, LWM and WMX, but also rather extensively re-written. By standing on the shoulders of giants &#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: blue"><strong>Here are some key features of &#8220;miwm&#8221;:</strong></span></p>
<p>· Extremely simple and Zen appearance and function.<br />
· Virtual desktops.<br />
· Optional tiling of windows.<br />
· Efficient. Small footprint in system resources, fast.<br />
· Reliable.</p>
<p><strong>INSTALLATION:</strong></p>
<p>cd to the miwm directory, until you see the Makefile and do the following.</p>
<p>make TAGS depend<br />
make miwm<br />
make install (as root)</p>
<p>This will build the miwm executable and put a copy in /usr/local/bin.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s New</strong> in This Release:</p>
<p>· This update adds persistant application settings, and miwm.config and miwm.usermenu files in ~/.miwm so that users can alter the settings easily at run time w/o recompilation.<br />
· Examples of both are now included, to ease setup.<br />
· Code cleanup throughout, as well as installation of an miwm_framework so that settings from the configuration files and command line arguments are easily accessed in a uniform way throughout the program.</p>
