The dwm from dbrumbaugh

dwm's Introduction

dwm - dynamic window manager
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.

Tasks to Complete
-----------------
1. Clean rebuild. There are surely some patches that I applied
   but do not use. Rebuilding from the ground up would result in
   a cleaner code-base.
2. Update the man-page to reflect usage.
3. Update Makefile to suppress common warnings (like unused functions)

Long-term Goals
---------------
* Centralize code across the suckless utilities that I use,
  do I really need two XRBD implementations, two font-rendering
  implementations, etc., for dwm and dmenu?

Requirements
------------
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.


Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).

Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):

    make clean install


Running dwm
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:

    exec dwm

In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm

(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
like this in your .xinitrc:

    while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
    do
    	sleep 1
    done &
    exec dwm


Configuration
-------------
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.

dwm's Issues

Swallowing window can remove the master on different monitor

If a window is launched from a terminal that will swallow that terminal, but the mouse is moved onto a different monitor before the launched window opens, the launched window will briefly open on the new monitor, and then swallow will activate and remove it. This will leave the new monitor with no window in the master slot.
