+.SH NAME
+snixembed \- proxy the StatusNotifierItem protocol to the XEmbed System Tray
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.SY snixembed
+.OP \-\-fork
+.YS
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The snixembed daemon proxies StatusNotifierItems as XEmbedded System Tray icons.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BR \-\-fork
+.RS
+Set up in the foreground,
+then fork to background process.
+.PP
+This can be used to avoid race conditions with applications that expect a StatusNotifierWatcher to be ready on startup.
+Start these applications only after snixembed --fork has completed.
+.RE
+.SH BUGS
+Not all of the StatusNotifierItem specification is supported.
+Current support includes:
+mouse events,
+context menus,
+tooltips.
+There is also limited AppIndicator support.
+.SH AUTHORS
+Maintained by Steef Hegeman,
+who is assisted by other open source contributors.
+.PP
