     1.4 +gridwm
     1.5 +------
     1.6 +
     1.7 +gridwm is an automatic X11 window manager which arranges all windows in a grid.
     1.8 +
     1.9 +
    1.10 +Requirements
    1.11 +------------
    1.12 +In order to build gridwm you need the Xlib header files.
    1.13 +
    1.14 +
    1.15 +Installation
    1.16 +------------
    1.17 +Edit config.mk to match your local setup. gridwm is installed into
    1.18 +the /usr/local namespace by default.
    1.19 +
    1.20 +Afterwards enter the following command to build and install gridwm (if
    1.21 +necessary as root):
    1.22 +
    1.23 +    make clean install
    1.24 +
    1.25 +
    1.26 +Running gridwm
    1.27 +--------------
    1.28 +Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start gridwm using startx:
    1.29 +
    1.30 +    exec gridwm
    1.31 +
    1.32 +In order to connect gridwm to a specific display, make sure that
    1.33 +the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
    1.34 +
    1.35 +    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec wmii
    1.36 +
    1.37 +This will start gridwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.
    1.38 +
    1.39 +
    1.40 +Configuration
    1.41 +-------------
    1.42 +The configuration of gridwm is done by customizing the config.h
    1.43 +source file.
