 .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 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.
