Hi,

dzen2.)

This is a TODO which can also be found in the dwm TODO file. It is of
lower prio however, as it is trivial to patch the dwm source code to
achieve what you are after.

Cheers,

Why choose window placement and dimensions at exec, instead of letting
the window manager handle the issue? Just set _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE to
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG and spend engineering time ranting about
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR, modality and modularity instead.

dmenu's override-redirect flag has always annoyed me, as well as
grabbing the whole keyboard rendering it temporarily unusable for
anything but typing text into dmenu or escaping out of it.
