Original
========

If you use several character sets (e .g. Latin+Cyrillic, Latin+Japan),
you will appreciiate this small gadget. Works best with XFree 86 4.3.0,
where you can mix up to 4 groups in XKB layout (hopefully the group
maximum  will be increased following editions :)).
 
wmxkb was designed to be as much self-aware as possible.
Though not 100% guaranteed, you should be able to run it straight
after installation, while various customised features will help
you to establish the behaviour you want.  

See manual.html for all information related to wmxkb. 

Unfortunately, XKB isn't still completely free of bugs (both in
code and data). In particular I had to apply a very rude patch in
my code for getting jp (Japanese) layout working with 4.3.0, some
others might have similar problems...

To be honest, I don't use a non-Latin set too often and developed
mostly for fun, so that your feedback is anticipated. If you have
any troubles with wmxkb (and not only if !), please don't hesitate
to contact me. But, PLEASE DON'T USE THIS EMAIL ADDRESS FOR ANY
IRRELEVANT MATERIAL. Any message not related to my software goes
straight to trash, without reading. The only concern is that my
mail box often runs over the quota and I miss really important
messages.

INSTALLATION
============

Type
	./configure
	make

If configuration script fails (e.g. because of an old version
of autoconf), try
	cp Makefile.linux Makefile
	cp wmxkb_conf.h.linux wmxkb_conf.h
	make

Now start the application:
	./wmxkb

If the titles are inapropriate, check the manual for custom names.

If you are happy, log in as root and type 
	make install
to install binary and documentation.

Next step is getting it docked/swallowed. 
If unsure, consult the manual.

Don't forget about customised features! I spent hours on that
and hopefully they are useful :)
