CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       BrowserCommand number command

              Selects web browser to be used by AfterStep when using the
              ExecBrowser command. Out of supplied list - all possibilities
              are checked to be present on the system, and first available one
              will be used.

              The default number/command combination is: 0 - $BROWSER, 1 -
              sensible-browser, 2 - x-www-browser, 3 - firefox, 4 -
              mozilla-firefox, 5 - mozilla, 6 - opera



       CursorPath path[:path]

              Specifies the paths to locate the cursor files in.



       DeskTopScale number

              If the geometry is not specified, then a desktop reduction
              factor is used to calculate the pager's size. Things in the
              pager window are shown at 1/number of the actual size.



       DeskTopSize W x H

              If W or H are less or equal to 100 - they define number of rows
              and columns in virtual desktop, each sized same as the screen.
              Otherwise W and H define the exact size of the virtual desktop
              in pixels, but to be no less then the size of the screen.



       DisableKDEGlobalsTheming

              If set will prevent AfterStep from updating private kdeglobals
              file when colorscheme is changed. kdeglobals needs to be updated
              in order to set colors for KDE apps to match that of the
              selected colorscheme.



       DisableSharedMemory

              Disables shared memory support in afterstep. Use this if you run
              X remotely, or have issues with shared memory in general.



       EditorCommand number command

              Selects editor to be used by AfterStep when using the ExecEditor
              command. Out of supplied list - all possibilities are checked to
              be present on the system, and first available one will be used.

              Suported are standard X11 fonts and Truetype fonts through the
              FreeType library.





       IconPath path[:path]

              Specifies the paths to locate the bitmaps in, typically used
              only if XPM, JPEG, or PNG images aren't available. Valid bitmaps
              are standard X11 XBM's.

       Path path:path:path

              Specifies the search paths for icons (IconPath), fonts
              (FontPath), pixmaps (PixmapPath), cursors (CursorPath) and

              are separated by a colon.



       PixmapPath path[:path]

              Specifies the paths to locate the pixmaps in. Valid pixmaps are
              currently XCF, XPM, PPM/PNM, ICO, GIF, XML Images, JPEG, PNG and

              set fullfilename for gtkrc file to be generated by AfterStep
              from gtkrc-20_template on colorscheme changes. Default is
              ~/.gtkrc-2.0. Change to prevent mangling of your own gtkrc. More

              set fullfilename for gtkrc file to be generated by AfterStep
              from gtkrc_template on colorscheme changes for GTK 1.x apps.

              gtkrc. More sensible approach is to edit the template.
