With firefox the same appears when reducing width of its windows down to ~150px. I have a 4.2 compiled. I can test patches.

I'm also using firefox and I don't have this problem. Do you have flickering with firefox as well ? or just the cpu ? I also have 4.2. Maybe its related with your graphics card ? -- engin tola - http://cvlab.epfl.ch/~tola/ emacs - http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/tour/
Re: [dwm] CPU comsumption
Sounds like applications behaving bad when the wm gives them a size they'd rather not have. If so, moving them to the floating layer is probably your only option (or nag the application's authors to fix their stuff). Yes I agree it should be something like that rather than an X problem. But dwm (and wmii) could behave better with those broken applications. With ion, larswm, ratpoison I have no problem. pgpjuvqGzijeW.pgp Description: PGP signature

Change client.c:resize() as follows: Replace if(sizehints) with if(1) This will introduce gaps between windows, but fix your bug. However, don't expect this being pushed into vanilla dwm, simply because the side-effect you notice is wanted by design of dwm. Hope this helps, -- Anselm R.
