This is starter, a script and modules that help you perform a few common X startup tasks. Right now, this package includes two modules: - background: a module to configure the X desktop background - startup: a module to configure X startup programs Once you've run the main program (starter.py) and configured your settings, run starter.py with the "run" argument in your ~/.xinitrc to have all of your settings activated at X startup. starter.py run The modules are just python module files with a common interface. I haven't included docs in this release, but hopefully you can figure out precisely what the module functions are expected to supply. Enjoy! Jonathan Daugherty cygnus@cprogrammer.org
