using MASTER 600 again, it is definately better, and using urxvtc for the moment (it doesn't flickers on refreshes, but this is not because of Marc Lehmann, it is because of the original rxvt code)

garbeam@0 2 .SH NAME
garbeam@39 3 dwm \- dynamic window manager
garbeam@0 4 .SH SYNOPSIS
garbeam@38 5 .B dwm
garbeam@0 6 .RB [ \-v ]
garbeam@0 7 .SH DESCRIPTION
arg@445 8 dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiling and
arg@445 9 floating modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, optimizing the
arg@445 10 environment for the application in use and the task performed.
garbeam@79 11 .P
arg@504 12 In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
arg@504 13 area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
arg@504 14 stacking area contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
arg@174 15 resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
arg@174 16 regardless of the mode selected.
garbeam@80 17 .P
arg@174 18 Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
arg@470 19 tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
garbeam@79 20 .P
arg@445 21 dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,
arg@445 22 the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. The
arg@444 23 selected tags are highlighted with a different color, the tags of the focused
arg@444 24 window are highlighted with a small point.
arg@316 25 .P
arg@445 26 dwm draws a 1-pixel border around windows to indicate the focus state.
arg@342 27 Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of them displaying their title.
