"explorer" is probably "nemo" in your case. Nemo has on gnome also the
responsibility to handle the desktop-background e.g. placing icons on
your desktop. In dwm this causes a new window to be created that is
empty -> your description of "everything disappears".

When running "nemo --no-desktop" this does not happen. This is not a bug
in dwm but caused by some kind of strange design in nemo/gnome.
