[dev] [dwm] [PATCH] Configure geometry before applying rules

Since dwm doesn't expose enough of the X11 properties to use Devil's
Pie, I am using changes inside of applyrules to modify window locations
and geometry. As part of my changes, I needed client geometry properties
to be set before the applyrules function is called because I need to
know where a window is initially located to determine if it needs to be
modified. I don't see anything that indicates the geometry assignments
**must** occur before calling applyrules, so I think it would be a good
to move the geometry assignments permanently in the suckless repo; most
people "configure" dwm by patching it, and this change would make it
easier to add more complex constraints to applyrules. I've attached a
patch with this change to my email.
