I'm perfectly happy keeping this out of the trunk, but I think the
auto-floating behavior really needs to go. BTW, changeset
1213:368a80dcf5bd makes auto-float active only when snap is nonzero,
which I believe is a mistake.

I find it strange how many people use dwm mostly for monocle-mode. I
used Ratpoison for years because I assumed that any alternative would
require that I install gkrellm, turn on fake transparency in my
xterms, and use some sci-fi wallpaper. Finally I got fed up with
Ratpoison because you need to deal with its awkward frames if you
don't want a monocle-mode. The irony is that it's 16k lines of code,
but has fewer useful (to me) features than dwm.

Anyway, thanks Anselm, for keeping dwm clean and hackable!
