I used to be aware of that, but then I forgot and so I wrote this
patch, which gave me an excuse to dive into dwm.c. That said, I
thought that, maybe, one day, someone could, somehow, find some kind
of use to arbitrary startup actions (other that mere application
starting which, i do agree, do not belong here), but i couldn't find
any apart from initial tag selection so maybe there is none indeed.

Anyway thanks for the (sometimes kind) replies and see you next time i
forget some basic piece of unix common sense ;)
