+UTILITIES FOR EMWM
+==================
+xmsm is simple session manager that provides session configuration and
+screen locking and also launches the window manager and the toolbox.
+
+xmtoolbox is an application launcher/menu configured with a simple
+text file.
+It also communicates with the session manager to provide lock, log out,
+and shutdown commands.
+
+NOTES
+=======================
+The session manager may be run from XDM by setting the
+DisplayManager*session X resource in xdm-config to xmsession, or by
+execing xmsm from ~/.Xprofile.
+Just make sure to test whether it works by running 'xinit xmsession'
+before doing any of the above. Note that 'xmsession' is just a shell
+script that sets up the environment for xmsm, and is not needed when
+this has been done already.
+-
+xmsm is installed suid root, this is required for screen locking and
+running sbin commands. Privileges are dropped at startup and are
+reacquired only when necessary.
+-
+System shutdown, reboot and suspend commands can be altered at compile
+time only. Edit constants in smconf.h, or override them in CFLAGS if
+necessary.
+
+copy /etc/X11/toolboxrc to ~/.toolboxrc for per-user configuration
