+.SH "WINDOW MANAGERS CONFIGURATION FILES"
+\fBchksession\fR uses a directory containing several window manager
+description files (by default \fI/etc/X11/wmsession.d/\fR unless
+specified by option \fB\-d\fR).  Each file contains the information to
+briefly present the window manager and to start a session using it
+(see examples in \fI/etc/X11/wmsession.d/\fR).  Each file name usually
+begins with digits (2 digits), which are used to order the list of the
+window managers they describe.
+.br
+Each file contains 4 definitions followed by a script:
+.TP
+.B NAME=<name>
+specifies the name of the session in the displayed list of window managers.
+.TP
+.B ICON=<file>
+icon file (\fI.xpm or .png\fR) used for this window manager.
+.TP
+.B DESC=<text>
+short description of the window manager for a session.
+.TP
+.B EXEC=<path>
+<path> must be the absolute path of an executable file for the window
+manager.  It is used only to check that the window manager has
+actually been installed.  If this definition is missing, or if the
+file is not executable by effective uid/gid, then this window manager
+description file is ignored.
+.TP
+.B SCRIPT:
+shell script used to run the window manager chosen by the user.
+.br
+This script starts on the next line and may be composed of several
+command lines. It must be the last part of the file, since it will
+include all following lines to the end of file.
+.PP
+All other lines, preceeding the script, are ignored.
+.SH FILES
+\fB\/etc/X11/wmsession.d/\fR default directory of window manager
+description files. It is the reference used by \fBchksession\fR to update
+configuration files of both gdm and kdm display managers.
+.SH "TESTING"
+Option \fB\-t\fR or \fB\-\-test\fR may be used for testing only.  When
+this option is active the behaviour may change in various way.  For
+example: the default directory DIR containing the list of window
+manager files may then be \fI./wmsession.d/\fR rather than
+\fI/etc/X11/wmsession.d/\fR. Do not use it unless you know precisely
+what you are doing.
+.SH "REPORTING BUGS"
+Report bugs to \fBhttp://www.mandrakeexpert.com/\fR.
