Re: [dwm] What functions do I really use?

Please, no. Please stop. Please focus efforts towards other projects for
a bit. Here are the things I use/don't use.

titlebars - yes, very important to me in my work!
Viewall/toggleview - yes, use it everyday, many times each day!
toggletag - yes.
Tile vs. Float - yes.
Max - yes.
stdin - yes.
snap - sometimes yes. I like it.
resizemaster - sometimes yes. Good to have.

and, of course, I use togglestackpos from my bstack patch.

Thanks! -Ross
