my IRC client is sending a bell character to my terminal, which is
setting the urgent bit on that window. The urgent bit tells dwm to
highlight that tag in the statusbar.

Just set in your X resources:

xterm.bellIsUrgent: true

or

urxvt.urgentOnBell: true

, depending on your favourite X terminal emulator. Reload the X
resourced and start one terminal emulator using them. Then run

        % echo -e '\a';

in an unattended tag and watch the result.

Sincerely,

Christoph Lohmann
