NAME
     wmanagerrc-update — update your wmanager settings automatically


SYNOPSIS
     wmanagerrc-update


DESCRIPTION
     The wmanagerrc-update program creates or updates the ~/.wmanagerrc file with a list of X11 window managers
     currently installed on the system.  On systems that do not have a convention for registering X window
     managers, wmanagerrc-update simply copies the contents of the ~/.wmanagerrc.user file to ~/.wmanagerrc.

     On systems that register the installed X window managers, the wmanagerrc-update program adds all of them to
     the wmanager(1) configuration so that they are available soon after installation.  Currently, only Debian
     GNU/Linux and similar systems that use the update-alternaties(8) mechanism are supported.  Locally
     installed window managers and things not registered as alternatives for x-window-manager(1) can be added to
     the file ~/.wmanagerrc.user in the .wmanagerrc format; see the wmanager(1) README file, usually
     /usr/share/doc/wmanager/README.gz, for more information.  The wmanagerrc-update program uses the entries
     first from ~/.wmanagerrc.user, then from the the registered window managers, in the order of
     update-alternatives(8) priorities.  You can override this by listing entries in wanted order in
     ~/.wmanagerrc.order, separated by whitespace.


BUGS
     Concurrent wmanagerrc-update processes may clobber the .wmanagerrc file.
