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

An alternative to have things done automagically would be to add the
line
        applyrules(c);
after
        updatetitle(c);
in propertynotify() in dwm.c

You can then do all sorts of fun things to your windows (dynamically)
by momentarily changing their titles.
