+-- 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).
