GTimer for Debian
-----------------

To get started, just run gtimer.  This will bring up the GTimer main
window.  You will probably want to start by defining one or more tasks
that you want to track using Task/New in the menus, Ctrl-T, or the second
toolbar button from the right.  If you wish, you can classify your tasks
into projects, created via Project/New in the menus.

Once you have a task, double-click on it to start timing work done on that
task.  When you're done working on the task, click Stop in the toolbar or
double-click on a different task to switch tasks.  You can assign time to
multiple tasks at the same time by selecting tasks and starting them
one-by-one from the toolbar, but note that this may result in nonsensical
report totals.

To generate reports, use the Report menu.  HTML reports will be opened in
a web browser using x-www-browser.  You can change the web browser using
Options/Browser in the menus.

Changes in the Debian version relative to stock GTimer:

 * The check for a new version has been disabled, since it normally
   happened automatically and had some problems behind firewalls.

 * The -weekstart command-line flag and associated functionality, the
   browser selection dialog, increment and decrement by one minute, and
   additional keyboard shortcuts for incrementing and decrementing time
   were added.

 * Reporting was modified to use the local locale for the names of days of
   the week.

 * A new Last Year report range was added.

 * Various bugs and potential temporary file security vulnerabilities have
   been fixed.

See the gtimer man page for more information about command-line options.
