+.TH MATE-WM 1 "MATE"
+.SH NAME
+mate-wm \- Start the window manager configured by the user
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.PP
+.B mate-wm [--default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER] [--sm-client-id=ID]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fImate-wm\fP program starts the window manager configured by the
+user. If the user has not chosen a window manager it will launch a
+MATE compliant window manager.
+.PP
+The user can define his preferred window manager with the
+\fB/desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager\fP MateConf
+key. The value of this key should be the name of the desktop file of the
+desired window manager, without its \fB.desktop\fP extension. If this
+key is set to \fImate-wm\fP, then \fImate-wm\fP will simply look for
+an appropriate window manager. The user can also override the selection
+of a window manager by setting the \fBWINDOW_MANAGER\fP environment
+variable.
+.PP
+If the \fB--default-wm\fP option is used, \fImate-wm\fP will use
+\fIWINDOWMANAGER\fP as window manager if the \fBWINDOW_MANAGER\fP
+environment variable is not set and if the
+\fB/desktop/mate/session/required_components/windowmanager\fP MateConf
+key does not define a specific window manager, or if the configured
+window manager cannot be found.
+.PP
+The \fB--sm-client-id\fP option is translated to an appropriate option
+depending on which window manager will be started.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The following options are supported:
+.TP
+.I --default-wm=WINDOWMANAGER
+Define the default window manager to start if no window manager is
+configured, or if the configured window manager cannot be found.
+.TP
+.I --sm-client-id=ID
+Specify the session management \fIID\fP when connecting to the session manager.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+\fImate-wm\fP uses the value of the \fBWINDOW_MANAGER\fP environment
+variable to let the user override the configured window manager.
+.SH BUGS
+If you find bugs in the \fImate-wm\fP program, please report
+these on https://bugzilla.gnome.org.
