[PATCH 2/9] README: updating readme to reflect new remote switches

Howdy!

This patch updates the README to reflect the addition of the "-F",
"--Fwd", "-B" and "--Back" switches to xmms.

It also adds to "7.2. Tips and Tricks"-section a small fvwm part.

Please consider applying.

 things can be binded to a key. I use AfterStep and the useless window keys
 for this. Here is an example from my .steprc:

-Key     Meta_R  A       N       Exec "xmms" xmms -r
-Key     Menu    A       N       Exec "xmms" xmms -f
+    Key     Meta_R  A       N       Exec "xmms" xmms -r
+    Key     Menu    A       N       Exec "xmms" xmms -f

-If you want all your mp3's in one playlist an easy way is:
-locate .mp3 > /path/to/playlistname
+If you are using Fvwm as your window manager the following lines might
+be of interest (place in ~/.fvwm2rc":
+
+    # To get "Alt Gr" working I had to put this line:
+    # "add Mod3 = ISO_Level3_Shift" to my "~/.Xmodmap"-file
+    Key z           A       3       Exec xmms -r & # Rewind (previous)
+    Key x           A       3       Exec xmms -p & # play
+    Key c           A       3       Exec xmms -u & # pause
+    Key v           A       3       Exec xmms -s & # stop
+    Key b           A       3       Exec xmms -f & # forward (next)
+
+    Key a           A       3       Exec xmms -B & # Backwards 5 sec track
+    Key s           A       3       Exec xmms -F & # Forward   5 sec track
+
+With the help of the commands above you have now made it possible to
+use xmms normal keyboard short-cuts from anywhere, without making xmms
+the active window.
+
+Ie. if you would like to skip to the next song while surfin or doing
+what ever you would just press:
+
+    "Alt_Gr + b"
+
+And if you for some reason don't like the beginning of that song, you
+would just issue:
+
+    "Alt_Gr + s"...
+
+As many time as you like (skips 5 seconds forward every time), pritty
+handy.
+
+If you want all your mp3's in one playlist an easy way is: locate .mp3
+> /path/to/playlistname

 (considering you have a fairly recent updatedb, don't blame us if locate don't
 find the file you downloaded 3 minutes ago)
