FVWM-Crystal installation instructions
======================================
Installing from a package
-------------------------
Uncompress the package to a temporary directory and issue command:
make install
FVWM-Crystal will be installed in /usr/local directory, so you need to become
root for installation to work. If you want to install Crystal in other
directory, or you don't have access to a root account, you can change the
prefix:
make prefix=/usr install
Installing from darcs repository
--------------------------------
cd to the repository and issue commands:
darcs changes > ChangeLog
make install
Optionally copy 'addons/fvwm-crystal.desktop' to /usr/share/xsessions/, then
you will be able to select "FVWM-Crystal" in your GDM/KDM login manager.
General installation tips
-------------------------
If you don't have your own ~/.Xresources, copy one from 'addons/' directory.
You can also find there sample ~/.Xsession (or ~/.xinitrc) file.
You need recent version of Python installed for 'fvwm-crystal.apps' script.
And of course unstable version of FVWM (2.5.13+ or CVS) would be good... ;)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strongly recommended:
---------------------
- ImageMagick package for screenshots and thumbnailed icons
