If dwm were to produce the list of selected tags on stdout on exit and could accept a list of tags as arguments on startup, this would allow a 'restart by quit' without losing the selected tags and without requiring a special 'quit and exec' function. Also, if the point of a restart is just to retag windows according to the rules, wouldn't it be cleaner to implement just that rather than a full re-exec? Best wishes, Chris.
