DontZap - command line tool to set the DontZap option in xorg.conf
=====================

DontZap is an application written in Python which relies on X-Kit and
allows users to set the "DontZap" option in xorg.conf.

Usage
-----

This program has to be run with root privileges (as it will write its
settings to /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

The accepted parameters are:
  -e, --enable    Set "DontZap" to "True" (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does not
                  restart the xserver).
  -d, --disable   Set "DontZap" to "False" (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarts
                  the xserver).
  -h, --help      Show the help page.

Hidden parameter (to be used only from other applications):
  -i, --is-enabled Exit code will be an error (1) if "DontZap" is set
                   to True otherwise it the exit code will be 0.

Dependencies
------------

All that DontZap needs is X-Kit and a working Python installation.

How to install DontZap
---------

If you use Ubuntu you should be able to find the source package on
Launchpad (see the "Development" section of this file) and in the
Ubuntu repository (starting from Ubuntu 9.04).

The easiest way to install it is by typing the following command:

    # ./setup.py install

    (as root).

Development
-----------

Development of trunk and the Ubuntu implementation takes place in
the following "x-kit" Launchpad project: 

  https://launchpad.net/x-kit
  
This is the place to report bugs, do translations, host your own
branches (if you wish to do so), and download upstream releases.
