Contents

[edit] Installation

Install the window manager:

emerge jwm

[edit] Configuration

The configuration file is in XML format. A minimal configuration file /etc/system.jwmrc is required in order to produce a root menu:

<JWM>
<RootMenu>
<Program label="Terminal">xterm</Program>
</RootMenu>
</JWM>

Note that the <JWM> tag is required, and an error will occur, if this tag is omitted.
