| 8 | Running PycaWM: |
|---|
| 9 | --------------- |
|---|
| 10 | |
|---|
| 11 | Use pycawm_launcher for PycaWM, and pycarepl for the REPL. |
|---|
| 12 | With GDM and KDM, you just have to select "PycaWM" in the wm list. |
|---|
| 13 | For slim, you must edit your /etc/slim.conf and add pycawm_launcher to the wm list. |
|---|
| 14 | If you want further information, see the default config file (which is well commented). |
|---|
| 15 | |

| 16 | Key ideas of PycaWM: |
|---|
| 17 | -------------------- |
|---|
| 18 | |
|---|
| 19 | * Each method/function can be hooked. The window manager can thus easily react on pretty much everything. (for example, very useful for plugins.) |
|---|
| 20 | * The configuration file is written in python, not in an obscure/abstruse syntax. |
|---|
| 21 | * PycaWM is designed to be dynamically modified at runtime. We can dynamically add/remove buttons, keyboard shortcuts, plugins, and even change a window manager method. |
|---|

| 25 | |
|---|
| 26 | * Python-Xlib only supports images with a depth of 24 bits. Anything else will not render correctly. |
|---|
| 27 | * There is a non-fixed Python-Xlib bug in Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) |
|---|
| 28 | Make sure you have a working Python-Xlib version before trying PycaWM. |
