-- Provides \"actions\" as in the Wmii window manager
-- (<http://wmii.suckless.org>). It also provides a slightly better
-- interface for running dmenu on xinerama screens. If you want to use
-- xinerama functions, you have to apply the following patch (see the
-- "XMonad.Util.Dmenu" module):
-- <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 @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@ file:
--
-- > import XMonad.Actions.WmiiActions
--
--  and add something like the following to your key bindings:
--
-- > ,((modMask x, xK_a), wmiiActions "/home/joe/.wmii-3.5/")
--
-- or, if you are using xinerama, you can use
--
-- > ,((modMask x, xK_a), wmiiActionsXinerama "/home/joe/.wmii-3.5/")
--
-- However, make sure you also have the xinerama build of dmenu (for more
-- information see the "XMonad.Util.Dmenu" extension).
--
-- For detailed instructions on editing your key bindings, see
-- "XMonad.Doc.Extending#Editing_key_bindings".
