Hoi,
have you ever heard of crash-only software?
Might this be a concept to improve dwm? Is it possible at all, to make
dwm a crash-only software?
This is just a thought, because I stumpled upon the concept and think
it's a quite interesting approach.
See:
I'd be more inclined to consider this if dwm had ever had a problem in
the year or so I've been using it.
But if you're enamoured of the idea, here's something you can do from
your .xinitrc to get this behavior. This will work better with dwm 5.4
than with a prior version.

That was not what I intended with my
What do you think about the concept of crash-only software?
While I'm certain that it's great for large, complex,
high-availability applications which infrequently write persistent
state to disk, I don't think it's of much use for small software
components. Such programs are unlikely to be able
