Re: [dwm] idesk + DWM

Well, a potential problem I see already is the desktop being covered by all
the tiled windows that they'd want to open. One window open, desktop is
gone. I suppose you could do floating mode by default, but that would
somewhat defeat the purpose of using dwm... If you're really dead-set on
doing it though, idesk would more than likely work. I hope your parents are
good with computers though! :-D
