Ah, makes sense.

Just curious, how much code would be necessary to also take window
name into account (in dwm)? It's been over 15 years since I did any X
programming, and even then it was mostly at the toolkit level.

Sometimes I find it useful to have a row-oriented mode (ROM). But I
don't want it applied to all tag views. What I do now is select an
empty tag, open a couple terminal windows in float mode, and place one
above the other, the width of the screen. As long as I don't switch
back to that tag, while in tile mode, everything is fine. :)

But, if I modified dwm to also account for window name, I could create
a rule that would make those wide windows unaffected by tile/float
mode changes.

What do you think?
