Clean(1.20)
NAME
Clean - the AfterStep desktop clutter reduction module
SYNOPSIS
Clean is spawned by AfterStep, so no command line invoca-
tion will work.
DESCRIPTION
The Clean module performs actions on windows which have
not had the keyboard focus for a specific length of time.
This is intended to help alleviate the problem of leaving
programs running in unused portions of your desktop.
Clean reads ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/clean file when it
starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*NoClutter 3600
Iconify".
INITIALIZATION
During initialization, Clean will eventually search a con-
figuration file which describes the time-outs and actions
to take.
If the Clean executable is linked to another name, ie
started, with a completely different configuration than
Clean, simply by changing the keyword Clean to OtherClut-
ter. This way multiple clutter-reduction programs can be
used.
INVOCATION
Clean can be invoked by inserting the line 'Module Clean'
in the ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/clean file. This can
be placed on a line by itself, if Clean is to be spawned
during AfterStep's initialization, or can be bound to a
menu or mouse button or keystroke to invoke it later.
AfterStep will search directory specified in the Mod-
ulePath configuration option to attempt to locate Clean.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Clean reads ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/clean file when it
starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*Clean 3600
Iconify". The format of these lines is "*Clean [time]
[command]", where command is any AfterStep built-in com-
mand, and time is the time in seconds between when a win-
dow looses focus and when the command is executed. At most
3 actions can be specified.
