See attached patch, however I'm not sure I like this approach
for the mainstream dwm.
If you want the behavior it is possible with the following
approach already in mainstream dwm, but you might not like it:
{ NULL, "gxmessage", NULL, tags[0], True },
{ NULL, "gxmessage", NULL, tags[1], True },
{ NULL, "gxmessage", NULL, tags[2], True },
{ NULL, "gxmessage", NULL, tags[3], True },
...
{ NULL, "gxmessage", NULL, tags[8], True },
Kind regards,
