 .SH DESCRIPTION

-.SS Overview
-.B gridwm
-is an automatic window manager for X11.
-.SS Options
+dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle
+and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimising the
+environment for the application in use and the task performed.
+.P
+In tiled layouts windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
+area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
+stacking area contains all other windows. In monocle layout all windows are
+maximised to the screen size. In floating layout windows can be resized and
+moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, regardless of the
+layout applied.
+.P
+Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
+tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
+.P
+dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout,
+the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. A
+floating window is indicated with an empty square and a maximised
+floating window is indicated with a filled square before the windows
+title.  The selected tags are indicated with a different color. The tags of
+the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the top left
+corner.  The tags which are applied to one or more windows are indicated
+with an empty square in the top left corner.
+.P
+dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

+.SH BUGS
+The status bar may display
+.BR "EOF"
+when dwm has been started by an X session manager like
+.BR xdm (1),
+because those close standard output before executing dwm.
+.P
+Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
+only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
+JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. As a workaround
+you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
+can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
+backend instead):
+.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
+.P
+GTK 2.10.9+ versions contain a broken
+.BR Save\-As
+file dialog implementation,
+which requests to reconfigure its window size in an endless loop. However, its
+window is still respondable during this state, so you can simply ignore the flicker
+until a new GTK version appears, which will fix this bug, approximately
+GTK 2.10.12+ versions.
