I sort of like the idea of using X properties. You could use xprop to
set some string on the root window:
xprop -root -f DWM_STATUS 8s -set DWM_STATUS "whatever"
It might even result in a significant SLOC reduction, since it'd just be
another X event, and wouldn't have to parse text for newlines.
I'll work on a patch to use X properties and we can see what everyone
thinks.
