Fabienne Ducroquet b12a5235a5 [doc] Fix some typos, modify a few descriptions
Before awesome 2.3 release, I've decided to look for typos in the
awesome* manpages, here is the result. I've also modified some options'
descriptions that I didn't find very clear, I hope I have not
added/missed too many mistakes as I'm not a native English speaker...

awesome-menu(1)
=================
NAME
----
awesome-menu - awesome menu system
SYNOPSIS
--------
awesome-menu [-c config] [-e command] <title>
DESCRIPTION
-----------
awesome-menu is a tool which will pop up a menu on your screen, grabbing
keyboard and allowing you to search through an initial completion list, or
using your files as completion.
USAGE
-----
By default, awesome-menu reads completion from standard input. If nothing is
read, the completion list is built from the current working directory files.
To build a menu with all the executable files of /usr/bin:
ls /usr/bin | awesome-menu -e 'exec ' 'Execute'
To build the same menu and run the programs in a terminal window:
ls /usr/bin | awesome-menu -e 'xterm -e exec ' 'Execute in terminal'
To build an ssh connection prompt:
cut -d' ' -f1 ~/.ssh/known_hosts | cut -d, -f1 | awesome-menu -e 'xterm -e ssh ' 'ssh to:'
If you do not specify the -e option, the result will be sent to standard output.
You can do things like that:
gzip "$(awesome-menu '"File to gzip')"
OPTIONS
-------
-c config::
Use an alternate configuration file instead of $HOME/.awesomerc.
-e command::
Command to execute. The result is appended to the end of this command (like xargs).
<title>::
Print this title. This is also used to identify the menu section in the awesomerc file.
