Arandr-trayicon

I use fluxbox window manager, and a set of small/minimal applications to make my desktop experience. I wrote a small utility that facilitates changing which displays are enabled. It of course sits in the system tray, and uses arandr as a base program.

Arandr saves configurations to ~/.screenlayout, so this project arandr-trayicon (which is entirely unrelated to arandr itself) reads that directory, as well as /etc/screenlayouts, to list any existing configs on a menu for the tray icon.

Obviously this program is not necessary if you are using a full DE like XFCE.

I don't have any packaging recipe for it yet, but eventually I will add a debian/ build recipe.
