About wmsystray
===============

wmsystray is meant to be used as a Window Maker dock applet. wmsystray provides
a notification area, or "system tray", in a manner compliant with
freedesktop.org's System Tray Protocol Specification[1]. This allows wmsystray
to serve as a system tray area for recent GNOME and KDE applications, and
should work for applications from GNOME 2.x and later or KDE 3.x and later.

wmsystray is written and maintained by
Matthew Reppert <arashi@kai.vm.bytemark.co.uk>

wmsystray's homepage is at <http://kai.vm.bytemark.co.uk/~arashi/wmsystray/>.


Building wmsystray
==================

To build wmsystray, just type "make" in the top source directory (the same
directory this file is in). If X11 isn't in /usr/X11R6 on your system, you
should change the XINCLUDES and XLIBS variables in wmsystray/Makefile.


System requirements
===================

wmsystray needs X11 (obviously). Future versions of wmsystray may optionally
use the SHAPE extension if it's present. Currently, wmsystray is targeted to
work best under Window Maker as a dock app, though it will actually run fine
regardless of what window manager you use. It just may look a little out of
place.


Liscense/Copyright Information
==============================

wmsystray is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 2. No other
version of the GPL is valid.


Development Information
=======================

wmsystray is developed using GNU Arch. For more information, including the
location of wmsystray's central arch repository, please see the file HACKING.

  However, to support most interesting functionality, system trays also need
  to implement the "server" side of XEMBED, and really should know about
  the Extended Window Manager Hints specification, or EMWH, also knows as
  NetWM.
