| garbeam@0 | 30 In order to connect gridwm to a specific display, make sure that |
| garbeam@0 | 31 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.: |
| garbeam@0 | 32 |
| garbeam@17 | 33 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec gridwm |
| garbeam@0 | 34 |

| garbeam@18 | 41 customize the key bindings edit kb.c. To change the status output, edit the |
| garbeam@17 | 42 status command definition in wm.c. |
