Hehe, i just wanted to express my experience with this weird mixture.
I understand that joining both worlds is not a clean design and I
understand your comments.

I find dwm a nice environment for experimentating with usability and
having this mix can make non-tiled users to see how productives are
these environments. But I see this as an experiment.

Just to see how a 'normal' or ignorant user interacts with a computer
with a tiled window manager just observing how they try to manage the
environment. This way it's possible to fix and learn new ways for dwm
and bring some experimental ideas.

I just want to play O:)
