Re: [dev] Re: [dwm] How to make R's windows floating?

Hi,

the problem is that R sets the properties at a later point (once the
window has been mapped).

I propose to add the following key handler to your config.h

static void reapplyrules(const Arg *arg) {
        Client *c;
        for(c = clients; c; c = c->next)
                applyrules(c);
}

And bind that to something like Mod1-r. This will reapply all rules to
all windows when executed (might be handy for other things as well).

Kind regards,
Anselm
