To bring the thread back on-topic - I usually restart dwm (after
configuration change or upgrade) by killing the dwm process and
restarting my 'while...' loop in the xterm that's left open
(my X server does not die after this).

The only slight problem that all windows get tagged in the tag 1
after restart, since dwm has no clue what was the previous tag
assignement. How this internal dwm 'state' could be passed over
to the new instance?
