I set NORMBORDERCOLOR to the background color of my GTK2 theme so that
the tiled windows visually appear "glued" together (there is no visible
border). At the same time I want the floating windows that have a border.

It seems to me that what you really want is borderless tiled apps. The
way you achieve (well, fake, actually) this now (background-colored
borders) looks like a hack to me; it's also incomplete: what about
non-gtk apps for example?. Stuff like this is fine for personal use,
but I don't think it belongs in mainstream dwm.

Greetings, Sander.
