- tags/workspaces are a straightforward addition to dvtm, since it was derived from dwm. (I have it mostly working for myself, but I had to rip
out a lot of dvtm-specific things like 'minimize')

Why had you to rip out these things? There is a git branch which
should mostly work but i so far failed to find acceptable keybindings
for all the tag actions.

I didn't see the git branch when I made that comment. But now that I've seen it, I've got to say, I don't like it. I use dvtm when I can't use dwm, and for various reasons prefer that they share as much code as possible.

- The ability to minimize windows is mostly useless when you have tags and workspaces. The exception is if one is using the window title as another status bar.

- The implementation of tagging is contrary to the suckless philosophy:

- The "focusn" procedure takes away valuable key bindings that I use for tagging.

An unrelated comment: there's some code in madtty.c to work around some issue in PuTTY. It doesn't seem to make a difference for me (I use PuTTY), but perhaps a better solution is to call define_key from the frontend (i.e dvtm.c).
