AutoComplete in the run dialog

History and AutoComplete in the run dialog
------------------------------------------

The "Run..." dialog now autocompletes executables in your path (triggered by
the TAB key) and records the history of past commands (last 500 by default).
It can also complete folder names if you start the complete with a "/"
To use it replace %a with %A in the "Run..." entry in your WMRootMenu file.
See commit 05720d97076ffc1569e5 for more details.
Automatic menu generator (wmgenmenu)
-----------------------------------
There is now a new utility to generate the Window Maker menu automatically,
called wmgenmenu. It searches from a list of pre-defined applications the
ones which exist in your $PATH and adds them to the corresponding submenus
("Internet", "Terminals", "Editors" etc) of your WM menu. It also supports
localization (currently English and German). You can use it like:
$ wmgenmenu > WMRootMenu-new
$ cp WMRootMenu-new $HOME/GNUstep/Defaults/WMRootMenu
and WM will automatically detect the new menu file and use it without
restarting wmaker (made possible by the 'inotify' mechanism)
Automatic detection of menu changes (via inotify)
-------------------------------------------------
Window Maker now uses the 'inotify' mechanism from the linux kernel
to automatically detect changes in the WMRootMenu file. So the
--no-polling option is now gone and Window Maker does not wake up
your CPU unnecessarily (0 wakeups when idle, instead of 4).
So if you edit the WMRootMenu file by hand (or by using 'wmgenmenu'),
there is no need to restart wmaker for the changes to take effect.
