After installing the package, you are asked to take five decisions:

The _GUI (focus)_ should be assigned to "keyboard focus" to put the

window manager in charge of controlling the keyboard focus, which is part
|

of its job after all.
|

The _GUI_ should be assigned to "system GUI server" as the basic mechanism

to be used for graphical output and user input for the windowed applications.

Finally, by assigning _Report_ to _system reports_, we allow the window

By assigning _Report (clipboard)_ to _global clipboard_, we grant the

to obtain clipboard content.

To give the window system a quick try, add the small demo you can find at
