WMANAGER(1)		    General Commands Manual		   WMANAGER(1)

NAME
       wmanager	-- choose a window manager and launch it

SYNOPSIS
       wmanager	[OPTIONS ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The wmanager program displays a choice of the window managers listed in
       the  ~/.wmanagerrc  file.   When	 one is	picked,	the related command is
       written to standard output, intended to be used by shell	 scripts.   If
       the  program is exited without choosing a window	manager, "-1" is writ-
       ten to standard output.

	       Set the foreground color.

       -di[splay] host:n.n
	       Set the X display.

       -dn[d], -nod[nd]

	       Set the window size and location.

       -i[conic]
	       Start as	iconified.

       -k[bd], -nok[bd]
	       Enable/disable keyboard support.

       -na[me] CLASSNAME
	       Set the X window	class.

       -s[cheme] SCHEME
	       Unknown,	probably does nothing useful.

       -ti[tle]	WINDOWTITLE
	       Set the window title.

       -to[oltips], -not[ooltips]
	       Enable/disable tooltips,	probably does nothing.

EXAMPLE
       To start	using wmanager,	create a ~/.wmanagerrc file -  generally  with
       wmanagerrc-update(1)  - and add something like the following at the end
       of your ~/.xsession file:

	     WM="$(wmanager -geometry +570+585)"
	     ...
	     exec $WM

       See also	wmanager-loop(1) for a nicer way to start wmanager.
