It is embarrassing, but I am glad it was the only thing that would compile, because otherwise I never would have started using dwm, and following this list. (sorry for the top-post before, all...) And it worked fine, but it doesn't change how Windows behaves at all. You run the X server as a Windows window, and run X programs within it. You can't run a Windows GUI program under dwm. I was trying it to keep my terminals sanely organized, but eventually I found bug.n, which is a native Windows dwm clone. That's what I use these days when I have to be on a Windows box. And it strips away the decorations. I wouldn't consider Windows' windows to 'behave in a relatively reasonable manner', though. Cheers, Noah
