made fullscreen apps working fine in floating mode (there is no sane way to make them work in tiled mode, thus I switch to floating mode if I run such kind of app), also fixed the xterm issue reported by Sander

1 dwm - dynamic window manager
2 ----------------------------
3 dwm is an extremely fast, small, and dynamic X11 window manager.
6 Requirements
7 ------------
8 In order to build dwm you need the Xlib header files.
11 Installation
12 ------------
13 Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dwm is installed into
14 the /usr/local namespace by default).
16 Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dwm (if
17 necessary as root):
19 make clean install
21 If you want to use a customized config.h, you can use the following
22 command for installing dwm:
24 make CONFIG=<your-config>.h clean install
27 Running dwm
28 -----------
29 Add the following line to your .xinitrc to start dwm using startx:
31 exec dwm
33 In order to connect dwm to a specific display, make sure that
34 the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:
36 DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec dwm
38 (This will start dwm on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)
40 In order to display status info in the bar, you can do something
41 like this in your .xinitrc:
43 while true
44 do
45 echo `date` `uptime | sed 's/.*://; s/,//g'`
46 sleep 1
47 done | dwm
50 Configuration
51 -------------
52 The configuration of dwm is done by editing config.h.
