Re: [dwm] new floating windows

There are other two posible solutions: you can allow togglefloat when
in floating mode (just removing one check), or the new windows can be
floating by default.
I don't see the inconsistence you tell, it does work like tags: If you
have rules, they are applied, else the current tag are applied (in the
same way that floating is applied if you set it in rules or else the
current mode is applied). Anyway, for me it is ok if togglefloating is
allowed in floating mode, and it could be more consistent as you tell.
I just want a solution.
