<refsect1><title>DESCRIPTION</title>

  <para>Stalonetray is a stand-alone system tray (notification area)
  for X Window System/X11 (e.g. XOrg or XFree86). It has minimal build
  and run-time dependencies: an X11 lib only. Complete
  <abbrev>XEMBED</abbrev> support is under development. Stalonetray
  works with virtually any <abbrev>EWMH</abbrev>-compliant window
  manager.</para>

  <para>The behaviour and the look of stalonetray can be configured either via
  command line options or via configuration file. As usual, command-line options
  have precedence over options that are specified in the configuration
  file.</para>

  <para>Names of command line parameter may have two variants: short
  (<option>-o</option>) and long (<option>--option</option>).
  Write <option>-o</option><replaceable>value</replaceable> or
  <option>-o</option> <replaceable>value</replaceable> to pass a value
  using the short name of a parameter; to pass a value using a long name, write
  <option>--option</option> <replaceable>value</replaceable> or
  <option>--option</option>=<replaceable>value</replaceable>. All
  flag-like parameters have optional boolean value that when ommited is assumed
  to be "true". Write "true", "yes", "1", for positive boolean values, and
  "false", "no", "0" for negative ones.</para>

  <para>Default configuration file is <filename>$HOME/.stalonetrayrc</filename>.
  A configuration file contains case-insensetive keyword-argument pairs, one per
  line. Lines starting with '#' and empty lines are ignored.  Alternatively,
  confiuration file can specified via <option>-c</option> or
  <option>--config</option> command-line options.</para>

  <para>Below is the list of possible command line/configuration file options.
  Options starting with hyphens are command-line parameters others are
  configuration file keywords.  Options that are new in @VERSION_STR@ version
  are marked with "NEW in @VERSION_STR@". </para>
