Re: [dwm] [idea] mwm - minimal/minimun/monocle window manager

I could not stop thinking of this concept since I read this post.
Mostley because I have fooled around with ratpoison a bit the last
weeks. So tonight I sat down and tried to realise some of the ideas
with dwm-5.5 as foundation. It is almost only cut'n'paste from the
source and removing some parts.

I have kept mwfac because I think i maybe nice to have a layout where
the screen is split into two sections (just realised I should have
kept zoom() then). Floating layout is still there because I think it
is nice to be able to handle floats and apps like gimp in a flexible
fashion.

Client numbering is a bit screwed up to. This because clients are
added to the list of clients in a fifo fashion and I have not figured
out how to change this behavior. Do I need to change booth attach and
attachstack?

And I hope I have not screwed up in some licensing manner.

Here it is I some one would like to check it out.
