;;; Commentary

;; ion3.el is an emacs interface for the ion3 window manager

;; You need mod_ionflux-3 (at least from 2005-04-21)
;; mod_ionflux-3 can be found here: http://modeemi.fi/~tuomov/repos/

;; Put the following in your .emacs to make the ion3-mode function available:
;; (autoload 'ion3-mode "ion3" "Major mode to edit ion3 config files" t)

;; The latest version of ion3.el can be found at 
http://www.xsteve.at/prg/emacs/ion3.el

;; Comments / suggestions welcome!

;;; Todo
;;  * Better error handling - at the moment they are only shown on the
;;    terminal, where ion3 was started
