If dwm were to produce the list of selected tags on stdout on exit and
could accept a list of tags as arguments on startup, this would allow a
'restart by quit' without losing the selected tags and without requiring a
special 'quit and exec' function.

Also, if the point of a restart is just to retag windows according to the
rules, wouldn't it be cleaner to implement just that rather than a full
re-exec?

Best wishes,

Chris.
