adesklets - manual page for adesklets 0.5.0

adesklets [OPTION]... [string_id]

Fake root window detection

--kde

KDE >= 3.4.1 desktop detection

--nautilus

Nautilus desktop detection

--rox

ROX-Filer detection (incomplete)

--user

Interactive detection (by user click)

--xfce4

Xfce4 desktop detection (tested on Xfce4 4.2.x, with xfdesktop managing the icons)

--xffm

Xffm desktop window detection (tested on xffm 4.3.3.1, with xffm-deskview managing the icons)

--do-it-once

When applicable, do not run the detection for each desklet, but only once for all. Of course, desklets on multiple screens will unlikely detect the right fake root window, but it will speed things up for single screen settings.

Miscellany

-h,--help

Print out this message and exit

-w progname

Wait for at least one 'progname' instance to run under the current user id (UID) before performing any further action

-d delay

Wait for a given delay (in seconds) before performing any further action

-e editor

Use an alternate editor for configuring the desklets; it needs to be a standalone executable that does not need a pseudo terminal

-v,--version

Printout adesklets version

-k,--killall

Kill all running, registered desklets

-c,--cleanup

Remove all dead entries from $HOME/.adesklets (this implies `--killall') -i,--installer Invoke the desklet installer (requires Python)

-f script

Execute command set from the `script' file

If no `string_id' is given, adesklets acts as a launcher (unless the `-f' switch is involved). Otherwise, adesklets acts as an interpreter, if no `-k' or `-c' switch is used.

The most usual invokation of adesklets is the bare `adesklets' command, without arguments: it makes adesklets launch every registered desklets from $HOME/.adesklets, without any fake root window detection.
