-- Provides `actions' as known from Wmii window manager (
-- <http://wmii.suckless.org>). It also provides slightly better interface for
-- running dmenu on xinerama screens. If you want to use xinerama functions,
-- you have to apply following patch (see Dmenu.hs extension):
-- <http://www.jcreigh.com/dmenu/dmenu-3.2-xinerama.patch>. Don't forget to
-- recompile dmenu afterwards ;-).

-- $usage
--
-- You can use this module with the following in your Config.hs file:
--
-- > import XMonadContrib.WmiiActions
--
-- and add following to the list of keyboard bindings:
--
-- > ,((modMask, xK_a), wmiiActions "/home/joe/.wmii-3.5/")
--
-- or, if you are using xinerama, you can use
--
-- > ,((modMask, xK_a), wmiiActionsXinerama "/home/joe/.wmii-3.5/")
--
-- however, make sure you have also xinerama build of dmenu (for more
-- information see "XMonadContrib.Dmenu" extension).
