Search Paths
  Env variables
  programs that build paths
  default paths

Simple Modifications
====================

Adding an item

Creating an Action
------------------

Changing the number of Workspaces
---------------------------------

Easy: press and hold the right mouse button on any of the workspace buttons,
and select "Add Workspace" to create new ones, or "Delete" to delete the
workspace you clicked on.

Hard:
Edit ~/.Xdefaults, Reload the Resources, and Restart the Workspace Manager


Complex Modifications
=====================

For more complex changes, overriding the default bit by bit becomes
tiresome and hard to maintain.  Fortunately, it is possible to have your
own copy of the default front panel configuration and edit it directly.

Swallowing Applications
-----------------------
The Panels with the front panel are allowed to be running applications, which
can display changing information, and which allow user interaction (but front
panel operations take precedence).
