Um, why is a systray needed for IRC?
It's not necessary for IRC, per se. I wrote:
Without a systray, I don't understand where one gets the spare screen

I don't understand how to effectively use IRC without doing one of the
following:
1. keeping it on-screen (which seems impractical to me, partly because I
still don't quite "get" dwm)
or
2. having some kind of indication that you've been addressed (urgent
hints or whatever).
In other wm's, #2 is often handled by having a little flashing systray
icon. So, broadening: what (if anything) do dwm users use for
"notifications" or indicating urgency?
