Package xde-menu-0.14 was released under GPLv3 license
2022-02-02.
This package provides a number of "C"-language tools for working with
the X Desktop Environment. Most of these tools were previously
written in perl(1) and were part of the xde-tools package. They
have now been codified in "C" for speed and to provide access to
libraries not available from perl(1).
For screenshots and examples, see SAMPLES.
