This is KDE-2-WMCONFIG, Version 0.99 (May 1, 1999)

Author : Yves BAILLY, <kafka.fr@francemel.com> Original site : http://www.linux-france.org/prj/kde2wm/index.html

Purpose :

When you're like me, using WindowMaker as windows manager, and the KDE tools because they're great, the trouble is : no link to these tools in the WindowMaker popup-menu !
This little Perl script is designed to translate the applications links in KDE fashion (usable only by KDE), to links in wmconfig fashion (usable by WindowMaker, Fvwm*, ...).

Installation :

Untar the file kde2wm-0.99.tar.gz :
tar zxvf kde2wm-0.99.tar.gz
Then just run the install script :
cd kde2wm-0.99
./install

This will copy the file kde2wm to the folder /usr/bin, and create the folder kde2wm-0.99 in the folder /usr/doc to store some info files.

Now you can delete the folder kde2wm-0.99 created when unpacking.

Using kde2wm :

Note that you probably must be root to use kde2wm. The easy way : simply enter
kde2wm
and that's all.

If you encounter troubles caused by a non-standard installation, you may try with command-line switches :

-kde_applnk=folder1 To specify where too look for the link in KDE fashion. By default, it is /opt/kde/share/applnk.
-kde_icons=folder2 We must give the whole path to icons associated with KDE applications : this is the folder containing these icons. By default, it is /opt/kde/share/icons
-wm=folder3 To specify where to store the link in wmconfig fashion. By default, it is /etc/X11/wmconfig
-help A littel summary of this file.

TODO :

Tell me if it works or not, to go to release 1.0. Every (good) idea is welcome...
