wterm for Debian
----------------

wterm started as a beta test of some additions Alfredo hoped to get
contributed to the official RXVT source tree. These included VERY fast
transparency without requiring any special application to set the root
image, a fantastic looking NeXT scrollbar option, and also from zinx
(#windowmaker on efnet) we had a transparent scrollbar trough and
preliminary transparency tint hack.

An Anonymous Coder has put together wterm-6.1 and wterm-6.2.6 for us,
which include transparency, reverse transparency, wmaker app menu
support with PropList configuration, cloning of current wterm and more!.
This also fixes some bugs... work in progress!

To install wterm from source code, some header files are required. These
files are all included in the Window Maker source tree (available from
ftp.windowmaker.org) but can also be obtained by installing the
following debian packages (deb's)

	*	libwraster2-dev
	*	libwmaker0-dev
	*	libwings-dev

Also, xpm4g-dev must also be installed.

wterm is optimised for Window Maker, but should work under other window
managers, provided the above libraries are installed. I have currently
tested wterm on icewm (version 0.9.39) and fvwm (version 2.2.2). If you
have successfully run wterm on any other window manager platforms,
please let me know so I can add it to this list.
