Well here is a partial list that was posted a while back that I added to in
bits and pieces.

	Here's some useful tips and goodies I discovered while playing with
	Workspace defaults (NeXT OS 2.1).  If someone tries these in 3.0,
	I'd be interested in reading the results.

	First, some comments:
		1. Numbers between () indicate default values (where known)
		2. I've included a list of some Workspace defaults at the end
		   (these should complement the output generated by using
		    EPS' wmdefaults program posted recently).
		3. To set any of these defaults, I suggest using wmdefaults,
		   otherwise, use dwrite.  Either way, you'll have to logout
		   and log back in for them to take effect.  Using dremove,
		   however, will not delete the defaults from the Workspace
		   defaults.wmd file.  You'll have to use wmdefaults, or save
		   a copy of the file before making any changes.  'Nuff said!

Workspace AppDockCount (NULL)
	??????????????

Workspace AppDockExtent	(32?)
	This default specifies the space in pixels to the left of the Dock
	which activates when icons are dragged from the file viewer (i.e.
	activates the Recycler and application lock functions).  The number
	is relative to the left edge of the Dock.  Note: this space is also
	available to the right of the Dock if it was moved using
	AppDockOffsetX (see above)!

Workspace AppDockFiles (NULL)
	A semi-colon separated list of the names of apps installed in the
	Dock.  Typically set through the Workspace preferences panel.

Workspace AppDockHysteresis (?)
	???????????????????

Workspace AppDockLaunchFlags (NULL)
	This default indicates which applications installed in the Dock are to
	be automatically launched during login.  The value is a decmial bit map
	of each icon position on the Dock (not including the NeXT logo icon)!
	Typically set through the Workspace preferences panel.

Workspace AppDockOffsetX (-3)
	This default controls the horizontal position of the Dock.  It's value
	is the number of pixels separating the right edge of the Dock and the
	right edge of the screen.  Negative values move the Dock to the left,
	while postive values move it to the right.

Workspace AppDockOffsetY (0)
	This default controls the vertical position of the Dock.  It's value
	is the number of pixels separating the top edge of the Dock and the
	top edge of the	screen.  Negative values move the Dock down, while
	postive values move it up.

Workspace ApplicationPaths (NULL)
	A semi-colon separated list of directories where applications are
	known to reside.  The workspace uses this to figure out which Apps.
	respond to open requests for the various file extensions, and what
	icons to use for documents generated by each App.

Workspace BypassPowerOffConfirm	(No)
	If you really can't be bothered to hit the return key after pressing
	the power off/on key.

Workspace CacheLaundryInterval
	?????????????????????? Possibly a tuning variable for the fabled
	Workspace Garbage Collection mechanism.

Workspace ConsolePath (?)
	????????????? Where to find console.daemon?

Workspace CoreLimit (NULL)
	Places a limit on the size of core dump files created when an App.
	crashes.  Equivalent to the unix limit command.  Setting CoreLimit to
	0 means that Apps. that crash will not produce a core file.

Workspace DefaultOpenApp (Edit)
	Specifies the path to the application that is to be launched or sent
	a openFile message whenever the user tries to open a file that has no
	registered application for the type.

Workspace FolderUnsortedAbove (?)
	?????????????????????

Workspace GCCompactInterval (?)
	??????????????????? Possibly a tunning variable for for the fabled
	Workspace Garbage Collection feature.

Workspace GCMinInterval (char *) 0x0
	??????????????????? Possibly a tunning variable for for the fabled
	Workspace Garbage Collection feature.

Workspace GCThreshold (char *) 0x0
	??????????????????? Possibly a tunning variable for for the fabled
	Workspace Garbage Collection feature.

Workspace IgnoreSignals (?)
	???????????????

Workspace LaunchPaths
	A semi-colon separated list of paths to applications to be launched at
	login.  This is a supplement to autolaunching Docked applications.  It
	is a good way start up background or housekeeping tasks that you want
	started everytime you log in.

Workspace ShellPath
	Specifies the full path to the default unix shell.  For example
	"/bin/csh".

Workspace ShowNeighbors (Yes)
	Show other users directories as the two-house icon.

loginwindow DebugHook (No)

loginwindow DefaultUser (me)

loginwindow HostName

loginwindow ImageFile
	Specify a Tiff file to use as the login screen.  Must be set as root.

loginwindow LoginHook
	Specify a shell script to execute at login time.  This must be set as
	root and will be executed for all users.

loginwindow LogoutHook
	Specify a shell script to execute at logout time.  This must be set as
	root and will be executed for all users.

loginwindow PowerOffDisabled (No)
	Setting this to Yes will disable the power key on the keyboard.

NeXT1 AutoDimTime
NeXT1 ClickSpace
NeXT1 InitialKeyRepeat
NeXT1 KeyRepeat
NeXT1 Keymap
NeXT1 MouseButtonsTied
NeXT1 MouseHandedness
NeXT1 MouseScaling
	Three numbers that determine the acceleration factor of the mouse
	pointer in relation to the speed of the mouse movement.  Setting
	this default to "1 1 1" will make mouse movement linear.
NeXT1 SystemBeep
NeXT1 VisualBeep

System BoldSystemFont (Helvetica-Bold)
System Language (English)
System PublicSoundServer
System PublicWindowServer
System SystemFont (Helvetica)
System SystemFontSize (12.0)
System umask
