Use xsetroot instead of stdin. There is an example on my site
(http://milesgroman.com/articles/on/configuring-dwm).

Subject: [dwm] .xinitrc error?
Sent: Mar 4, 2009 19:05
Hi list
I haven't changed my dwm config.h since 4.9 and was using it happily for
months. I finally decided to try out 5.4.1 and I'm almost done.
The only problem is that I can't get the status bar to display what's piped
into dwm. It was working before and displayed a lot of fancy stuff.
I stripped it down to the bare minimum now but it still displays dwm-5.4.1
instead of what I want it to:
$ cat .xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
#######
# DWM #
#######
timeout=0.2
while true
do
echo "Test"
sleep $timeout
done | dwm | eval `cat ~/.fehbg`
What do I miss here? I'm sure it's something obvious (far somebody else but
me)...
Best regards, Chris
