dwm - dynamic window manager
----------------------------
dwm is an extremly fast, small, and dynamic X11 window manager.
Requirements
------------
In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
Installation
------------
Edit config.mk to match your local setup. dwm is installed into
the /usr/local namespace by default.
Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
necessary as root):
make clean install
Running dwm
-----------
Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
exec dwm
In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.
Configuration

The configuration of dwm is done by customizing the wm.h source file. To
