-In tiled layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
-area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the

+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

Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.

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 maximized

.SH CUSTOMIZATION
dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
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.
