+# Startup on my Ubuntu 14.04 system works like this:
+# - lightdm finds /usr/share/xsessions/dwm.desktop
+# - This desktop file launches dwm.user, which is found in /usr/bin
+# - /usr/bin/dwm.user is a script that execs $HOME/.dwmrc, if present, else it
+# execs dwm.
+# - This is my dwmrc, which installs as ~/.dwmrc
# Although the system startup merged ~/.Xresources, it did so with the -nocpp
# option (Ubuntu 14.04), which prevents the use of #define, etc. Re-merge here
