Debian                                            May 22, 2008                              WMANAGERRC-UPDATE(1)

       Concurrent wmanagerrc-update processes may clobber the .wmanagerrc file.

       The  wmanagerrc-update  program  creates  or  updates  the  ~/.wmanagerrc  file with a list of X11 window
       managers currently installed on the system.  On systems that do not have a convention for  registering  X
       window  managers,  wmanagerrc-update  simply  copies  the  contents  of  the  ~/.wmanagerrc.user  file to
       ~/.wmanagerrc.

       On systems that register the installed X window managers, the wmanagerrc-update program adds all of  them
       to  the  wmanager(1)  configuration  so that they are available soon after installation.  Currently, only
       Debian GNU/Linux and similar systems that use the update-alternaties(8) mechanism are supported.  Locally
       installed window managers and things not registered as alternatives for x-window-manager(1) can be  added
       to  the  file  ~/.wmanagerrc.user  in  the  .wmanagerrc  format; see the wmanager(1) README file, usually
       /usr/share/doc/wmanager/README.gz, for more information.  The wmanagerrc-update program uses the  entries
       first  from  ~/.wmanagerrc.user,  then  from  the  the  registered  window  managers,  in  the  order  of
       update-alternatives(8) priorities.  You  can  override  this  by  listing  entries  in  wanted  order  in
       ~/.wmanagerrc.order, separated by whitespace.

       The wmanagerrc-update program was written by Tommi Virtanen in 2000 and later modified by Peter Pentchev.
       This  manual  page  was  originally written in perldoc format by Tommi Virtanen in 2000, and converted to
       mdoc format and updated by Peter Pentchev in 2008.
