NAME

       Gnome - the AfterStep GNOME compliancy module

SYNOPSIS

       Gnome [-f config_file] [-v | --version] [-h | --help]

       Although  Gnome  can  be  run from the command line, it is
       normally spawned by afterstep in the autoexec file, in the
       following manner:

            Module    "I"  Gnome

       or from within an afterstep menu file by 'Gnome':

       % cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Gnome"
            Module "Gnome" Gnome
            MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"

       To stop the Gnome module, a menu item can be used:

       % cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Gnome_Stop"
            KillModuleByName "Stop Gnome" Gnome
            MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"

DESCRIPTION

       Gnome  is  a  module  that  provides  GNOME compliancy for
       AfterStep.  It translates AfterStep socket  messages  into
       GNOME  hints  and  enables  GNOME applications to interact
       with AfterStep as outlined in the GNOME compliant WM specs
       (which  need  to  be  updated by the way).  The module has
       been tested with gnome-libs 1.0.5/gnome-core 1.0.4.   More
       information     on    GNOME    can    be    obtained    at
       http://www.gnome.org and my page, which has information on
       how  to get GNOME and AfterStep to play together nicely at

Gnome(1.7.20)                                       Gnome(1.7.20)

INITIALIZATION

       Gnome  requires  no  configuration files, it will run with
       sensible defaults (4 desks, desks names Desktop 1, Desktop
       2  etc).   The defaults can be overriden in the (optional)
       config file.  This file will be the one specified  by  the
       -f  option (if given).  Else, the ~/GNUstep/Library/After­
       Step/Gnome  file  will  be  used  if  it  exists.    Else,
       /usr/local/share/afterstep/Gnome will be used.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       Config file is optional, if you run Gnome without one, you
       will get 4 desks with the GNOME pager,  named  Desktop  1,
       Desktop 2 etc.  These can be overriden in the config file:

       *GnomeDeskName SomeDesk Name

       *GnomeDeskName SomeOtherDesk Name

       *GnomeDeskName My Work Desk

       This will make GNOME see 3 desks, named, desk 1 - SomeDesk
       Name, desk 2 - SomeOtherDesk Name, desk 3 - My Work Desk

       *GnomePages  0|1 toggles virtual pages support on and off,
       I suggest using 0 at the moment, the gnome pager does  not
       work well with virtual paging.

BUGS

       None as far as I know, if you find any please email me.
