.SH CUSTOMIZATION
dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
-.SH CAVEATS
-The status bar may display
-.BR "broken pipe"
-when dwm has been started by
-.BR xdm (1),
-because it closes standard output before executing dwm.

+.SH BUGS
+The status bar may display
+.BR "EOF"
+when dwm has been started by an X session manager like
+.BR xdm (1),

+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):
