[dev] [patch] map new window *after* arrange()

[Peter Hartlich]

Couldn't dwm map newly created windows *after* they have been moved
to their proper position? Less flickering (especially noticeable with
the attachabove/attachaside patches), and it feels snappier on a slow
computer.

I haven't experienced any problems with the attached patch so far.
