/e/X/w is not a directies structure but a set of files describing each
component and the menus/sub-menus where they have to appear. All the
informations about one menu/sub-menu option are located in this file. A
program wmconfig transforms this set to produce a directory structure
for as, wm or kde.

Here are two examples of files from /e/X/w

gimp name "The GIMP"
gimp description "GNU Image Manipulation Program"
gimp icon "wilbur.xpm"
gimp mini-icon "mini-wilbur.xpm"
gimp exec "gimp &"
gimp group "Tools/Graphics"


telnet name "telnet"
telnet description "Telnet Client"
telnet exec "xterm -e telnet &"
telnet group "Networking"
