Argh! I can't live without them!

I just right-click the title bar to close the window using my mouse-click.
It makes the dwm more mousefriendly.

Please, test my mouse-clicks patch before writing this.
When i was an icewm user the 'not focus on mouseover' approach make me
feel conformartable and productive, but, after a year being a dwm and wmii
user I can say that it makes the mouse more productive, so you don't have
to make stupid clicks all the time.
My patch uses mouse wheel on client title to focusnext()/focusprev() it's
far more productive/minimalistic than removing the focus client on mouse
over and drawing stupid buttons for window managing.

bloat!
I tend to never tag more than one tag at a time. looks confusing to me,
but yup, it's useful. Maybe the one only I use (not much times) is 'alt-0'
(expose all clients of all tags).
