Dynamic window manager customized to my taste

The reasoning behind the original line may be lost to time as it does not make much sense checking the position on the x-axis to determine how to position the client on the y-axis. In the context of multi-monitor setups the monitor y position (m->my) may be greater than 0 (say 500), in which case the window could be placed out of view if: - the window attributes have a 0 value for the y position and - we end up using the y position of bh (e.g. 22) If the aim is to avoid a new floating client covering the bar then restricting y position to be at least that of the window area (m->wy) should cover the two cases of using a top bar and using a bottom bar. |

dwm - dynamic window manager
============================
dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic window manager for X.
Requirements
------------
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default).
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running dwm
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
exec dwm
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
(This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
like this in your .xinitrc:
while xsetroot -name "`date` `uptime | sed 's/.*,//'`"
do
sleep 1
done &
exec dwm
Configuration
-------------
The configuration of dwm is done by creating a custom config.h
and (re)compiling the source code.
