Having an nstack (similar to nmaster but for the stack) would make more sense. Something more like http://dwm.suckless.org/patches/clientspertag (but not exactly like it either). -- __ Raphaël Proust

Could you elaborate on the nstack approach? I'm not fully understanding where you're coming from. The approach of hiding the clients that would cause the crash is a good idea. The approach with nstack would be to have a variable somewhere that indicates the maximal number of clients that can be shown in the stack area. Thus one would set this limit in their conf.h (and possibly a couple of entries in their key array to tweak the value) and when the number of clients in the stack area grows over nstack, the additional ones would simply not be shown. Like your deck approach but with a custom number of clients rather than just one. Cheers, -- __ Raphaël Proust

This could be fixed by having setsmfact() detect the amount of stacked clients and having it set a limit to smfact accordingly. Not sure it should be upstreamed as is then. Upstreaming a patch that causes (new) crash is unusual (for any project, suckless or otherwise). Two limitations are that only the bottom client in the stack can be resized (for me personally this is not an issue) Was this choice implementation driven? (i.e. because it is easier to detect the bottom client rather than the top) Considering it's easier to push a client to the top of the stack (zoom twice) it'd be (IMHO) nicer to resize the top client.

On Wed, Mar 27, 2013 at 1:17 PM, Jente Hidskes jthids...@outlook.com wrote: You're right - I should not have submitted the patch with a bug that would crash DWM. However, it was only with seven clients or more and as I rarely have more than 3 open at once, for me it wasn't that big of an issue. I have now fixed it, though. I did that by having setsmfact() check the amount of clients and have it set an appropriate limit. It still crashes, but this time it only this when you have 30 or more clients in your stack which I think is highly unlikely and thus, a save approach. If you really want to eliminate the crashing, you would have to have tile() report the height of the clients in the stack and if(h MIN_WIN_SIZE) then do something. Hmm… Most times I only use a (very) limited number of clients. From time to time though I do for i in *.pdf do llpp $i done and then kick the st window out of the way (on a trash tag) before making my way through all of those pdf documents. Don't know how common this is. And there might be a better way to do it. I have attached the new version. Again, I look forward to hearing your feedback!

Re: [dev] [st] strange behaviour with feh and ranger

While running dwm, starting feh from st and going to full-screen has the following behaviour: 1) feh prints an error message about the window manager not handling WMHints: feh WARNING: Window Manager does not support MWM hints. To get a borderless window I have to bypass your wm. 2) the feh window does not get keyboard focus The behaviour is not reliably reproducible on st 0.3, it sometimes happens. In particular, the behaviour seem to disappear once feh has been started from a different terminal emulator (tested with urxvt) or application launcher (tested with dmenu).

how can i switch to another tag ?
may be need to change mod1 (alt) by another key, peraps win key or
another. if it's that, how change the def of mod1 ?
I guess the correct fix is either to change XK_{1..9} in your keys[]

else how do for can i switch tag ?
There are mouse controls that should work on the bar (not sure if it's

The main difficulty seems to be the corner-case exponential-time merge algorithm. I'm not familiar with that VCS, but how can it store no history since that, I think, is the core of any (D)VCS, to have a history of changes, a versioning, that's its purpose, isn't it? It stores a graph of the dependencies between patches. When you commit, you just record a patch and the system figures out the syntactic dependencies of your patch wrt the patches that already are in the repo. When you pull, you just download a set of patches and their dependency relation. The two sets (downloaded and local) and the two relations (same) are merged. You can accept or refuse individual patches. When you refuse a patch, all the patches that (transitively) depend on it are automatically refused. I'm not an expert, I'm really curious about this.
