Semi-OT: Does dwm-2.[89] compile with X11R7? If not, that's something
I'd like to see in 3.0. I want to make a complete switch to X11R7, but
I refuse to leave dwm/dmenu behind.

Also, I'd really enjoy the functionality of 2.9/3.0 in regard to the
nmaster and mtext changes, but I'm hesitant to update because I prefer
the bottom stack to the tiled. So, I'd like to know 1.) if the bottom
stack patch will be implemented with these changes in mind, and 2.)
how? "[%u]TTT" or "=[%u]=" or similar? Will the master area be split
vertically/horizontally/both depending on landscape/portrait?

I'm unsure of how it would effect the LOC goal (last time I tested
was 2.6 + bstack = ~1,740 lines), but I'd also like to see the bottom
stack in the main dwm chain. When I first heard this suggested, I
didn't much like the idea, but now I use the bottom stack quite often.
And patching dwm and reusing my old config.h is getting more and more
complex with each release.
