Hi, I created patch for reloading dwm with signal USR1.
usage: kill -s USR1 $pid_of_dwm dwm then unmanage all window, closes all and reexec itself - which back manages all windows, etc. can be fine while tunning config.h (by new users?) or for upgrading dwm while the X are running. Instead of turning whole X off, recompile and turning back on (with all of the running programs) it suffice to recompile dwm (from X :), delete old dwm binary and move the reconfigured dwm on place. And then just send signal. URL: http://na.srck.net/dwm/dwm-3.8-reload.patch --anydot
