Dwm lacks mouse control of the workspace.
The difficulty is that most other window managers have big decorations (titlebars, borders) within which you can unambiguously click/drag to do wm stuff. I'm not a hugely enamoured with the ModKey+mouse approach, but I can't see any viable alternative if you already want to use meanings for all the mouse-buttons you've got within applications. The vague thought I had for adding more mouse control was having a mode which you could engage where mouse clicks would be interpreted as dragging clients around in the client-list until you disengaged that mode. (My work setup is two monitors with generally 4 columns split between various numbers of main and stack columns so I sometimes want to rearrange the windows so related stuff is closer together to making flicking my view between windows easier. This isn't so much of an issue with standard 2 column dwm.) But I'm busy at work and trying to debug crashes porting my patches to dwm-4.4, so it's really on the back burner. -- cheers, dave tweed__________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rm 124, School of Systems Engineering, University of Reading.
