I do use it sometimes, but could live without it. No strong
preferences.

Really? I like that the bar is managed by dwm, 'cos I trust dwm, and
it seems like a reasonably OK place to do such drawing. So long as
there was a widely used, reasonable way of doing things, which ends
up looking and working like dwm currently does, I don't really mind.

Yes, good; sensible chap.

Good to hear from you again Anselm.
