Re: [dwm] dzen2 latest release

Yayy! dzen2 is cool :) I've done some little changes to allow me to use't as a button
in the top bar. I've changed the -m flag for -l (lines instead of multiline has more sense
for me).

I've used mesure as stdin for dzen2 and now I've a network-meter in the top bar of dwm. if
you want to use it fetch the latest version of mesure from the CVS (cvs.nopcode.org) and
type this in your ~.xinitrc:

(
 while : ; do
 (echo eth0 && mesure -atnDKvi eth0 ) | dzen2 -x 1020 -w 80 -b 50 -l 1 -l 5
 xterm -bg black -fg gray -e sudo tcpdump -i eth0
 done
) &

The new flag for dzen2 is -b that accepts a numeric value to define the width of the title box.

The patch is attached.

Suggestions and ideas:
======================
 - hook SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for rollup/rolldown the window
 - return value depends on the mouse button (0 = left button, 1 = middle button, 2 = right button) ...
 - support for wheel (progressive rollup/rolldown)

If we hook USR1 we can put a new keybinging to execute:

 pkill -USR1 dzen2

This can be used to rollup/down all the running dzen2s with a single keystroke

Nice toy!
