# to run xmonad and some associated programs.

#
# GENERAL INITIALIZATION
#

# Map capslock to escape
(xmodmap -e 'clear Lock' -e 'keycode 0x42 = Escape') &

# Identify the home of our gtkrc file, important for setting styles of 
# gtk-based applications
export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"

# Load X resources (fixes some font issues)
xrdb -merge .Xresources &

# Start compositing to support transparency. You can omit this
# if you prefer not to use any transparency, but it is likely to cause
# ugly black fringing with some programs such as synapse that expect
# transparency support.
# cb-compmgr --xcompmgr &

# Enable power management and volume keys
xfce4-volumed &

#
# LOAD SCREEN BACKGROUNDS
#
# To set your backgrounds, run nitrogren /path/to/images
nitrogen --restore &

# Start screensaver daemon
xscreensaver -no-splash &

#
# SCREEN CONFIGURATION
#

# Activate primary screen 
xrandr --output DVI-I-1 --auto --primary 
xrandr --output DP-0 --auto --rotate left --left-of DVI-I-1

#
# STARTUP ICON TRAY
#
# We are using stalonetray to create a small icon tray at the
# top right of the screen. You are likely to want to tweak the
# size of the icons and the width of the tray based upon the
# size of your screen and your xmobar configuration. The goal is
# to make stalonetray look like it is part of xmobar.
# 
# Line by line, the options used by default below mean:
# - icons should be aligned with the "East" or right side of the tray
# - the width of the tray should be 5 icons wide by one icon tall, and it 
#   should be located 0 pixels from the right of the screen (-0) and 0 pixels
#   from the top of the screen (+0).
# - By setting our maximum geometry to the same thing, the tray will not grow.
# - The background color of the tray should be black.
# - This program should not show up in any taskbar.
# - Icons should be set to size "24".
# - Kludges argument of "force_icons_size" forces all icons to really, truly 
#   be the size we set.
# - window-strut "none" means windows are allowed to cover the tray. In
#   other words, trust xmonad to handle this part.

# Run the gnome-keyring-daemon to avoid issues you otherwise may encounter
# when using gnome applications which expect access to the keyring, such
# as Empathy. This prevents prompts you may otherwise get for invalid
# certificates and the like.

# Now, finally, start xmonad
