####################################################################

####################################################################

This is an experimantal attempt to create a visual application
launcher for the Gnome Desktop.

Homepage: http://gnome-pie.simonschneegans.de

It is inspired by the an addon written for the game World of Warcraft.

#                   About this Branch                              #
####################################################################

This is the master Branch of Gnome-Pie. A recent "stable" version 
will be in here.

####################################################################
#                           PPA                                    #
####################################################################

There is a PPA with a recent version of Gnome-Pie. If you simply
want to test it, it's very easy to install:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:simonschneegans/testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-pie

####################################################################
#                        Compiling                                 #
####################################################################

First of all, install all dependancies:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libcairo2-dev libappindicator-dev
                     libgee-dev libxml2-dev libxtst-dev
                     libgnome-menu-dev valac cmake libunique-dev

Then build and launch Gnome-Pie by typing:

./make.sh

####################################################################
#                          Usage                                   #
####################################################################

Now you may launch it by Pressing <ctrl><Alt>A to open up a default 
Pie with your default applications. There are some other Pies 
defined --- just open up the configuration dialog by activating the
appropriate entry in the appindicator menu or by launching gnome-pie
for a second time. There you may configure the Pies to suit your
needs.

You can open Pies not only by presing their key stroke.
Alternatively you may open any Pie by invoking gnome-pie --open 123
where 123 is the ID of the desired Pie (which is displayed in the
configuration dialog).
