			You can copy it from /usr/share/icewm to ~/.icewm

			Examples:

			To get gkrellm on all desktops but invisible on the taskbar:

			gkrellm.Gkrellm.allWorkspaces: 1
			gkrellm.Gkrellm.ignoreTaskBar: 1
			#gkrellm.Gkrellm.layer: Below
			#gkrellm.Gkrellm.doNotCover: 1

			To launch Firefox and Thunderbird on their own desktops:
			Gecko.Firefox-bin.workspace: 4
			Gecko.Iceweasel-bin.workspace: 4
			Gecko.Thunderbird-bin.workspace: 5
			Gecko.Icedove-bin.workspace: 5

			Note that I have the following in my "preferences" file
			WorkspaceNames=" 1 "," 2 "," 3 "," 4 ","Fx","Th"
			and that workspaces are numbered from 0 so 4 for Fx and 5 for Th

			To get jabber windows on all desktops:
			main.psi.allWorkspaces: 1
			chat.psi.allWorkspaces: 1
			psi.Psi.allWorkspaces: 1

			But how to know how to refer to a specific window application?
			<br>Easy: run the following command and click on the applic to identify:
			xprop \| grep WM_CLASS \| xmessage -file - -center
			With Iceweasel which is at that time not yet migrated from Firefox, I get
			WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Gecko", "Firefox-bin"
			So I use
			Gecko.Firefox-bin.''property'': ''value''

New page

===Documentation===

* http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/IceWM
* http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=7774&page=1

===Tips===

====Startup/shutdown actions====
* Install a script (executable!) called ~/.icewm/startup or ~/.icewm/shutdown

====Personalisations====
* Just copy anything from /usr/share/icewm or /etc/X11/icewm to ~/.icewm and modify it locally.
* You can use ''iceme'' to modify easily the menus (copy /etc/X11/icewm/keys to be able to edit the keybindings)
* You can use ''icepref'' to modify your preferences
* See the links above for tips & tricks

====Background====
* it's easier to use ''xsetbg'' from ''xloadimage'' package
* do that from ~/.icewm/startup script

====Icons====
* one nice way is to use ''apwal'' (the author is French, comprendra qui pourra :-)
* No way to bind apwal to right-click under icewm, bind it to a a key combination instead

====Gkrell====

apt-get install gkrellmwireless gkrellm-x86info
