README

overview is a graphical workspace manager for X11 window managers like

	MaXX Interactice Desktop
	mwm
	emwm
	twm


1. PREREQUISITES
-----------------------------

Motif 2.3+

On some GNU/Linux distributions appropriate 'dev' packages need to be installed
separately - e.g. xorg-dev, motif-dev, etc.

I have included a (e)mwmrc.sample to show you how the overview command 
might be used. You need to edit your .mwmrc or other windowmanager keybindigs.

Optional you can use the script "sticky" to make some of your apps 
sticky, it calls xdotool (not included).

I added my .sgisession/.emwmrcsession startup script to dot.sgisession as 
example.
Things can also be included in your .xinirc/.xsession

I also added a dot.Xdefaults.emwm that includes Xresources 

First thing you might want to change is horizontal layout to vertical.
Right click into the window, there is a menu. Settings are stored in

 ~/.overviewrc



2. BUILDING AND INSTALLING
-----------------------------

To build and install using default configuration options run './configure' ,
run 'make', then 'make install' as root.

If this fails, call ./autogen.sh first.

Default bindir is 

	/usr/bin 



Language-Files go to /usr/share/locale ...
