Nothing; backgrounding dwm was left from trying a few other ways to do it.
Thank you.
Then it can be simplified further:

   while true; do
       xsetroot -name ...
       sleep 1
   done &
   dwm
   kill $!

I wonder whether the README should be updated accordingly. But it is there
for years and nobody seemed to notice before. I attach the trivial patch,
just in case.
