Description

The wmanager-addons package contains some helper scripts and manual pages for wmanager, a simple tool to pick an X window manager at the start of each session. The scripts and documentation were originally part of the Debian GNU/Linux package of wmanager, but have since been extracted into a separate distribution and updated.

Acknowledgements

Thanks go to (in no particular order):

• Meik Tessmer for writing wmanager in the first place;
• Tommi Virtanen for porting wmanager to Debian and maintaining the package, in the process actually writing the manual pages and the shell scripts that I am now repackaging as wmanager-addons;
• Will Andrews for porting wmanager to FreeBSD and maintaining the port with several patches;
• the FreeBSD Project for providing me with a robust OS to play with stuff on;
• Debian GNU/Linux for pretty much the same;
• …and everybody else who feel they deserve gratitude (and this probably won't be the first time I've forgotten to express gratitude, either).
