I installed dwm 5.4.1 from the openbsd package on my Thinkpad X61 running openbsd 4.5 (amd64). Works fine, no issues, other than attempts to pipe the date into stdin not working (I think how to use the read-from-stdin facility to display stuff needs to be explained more fully in the documentation).
I then downloaded the 5.6 tar file, compiled it, and changed my .xinitrc to point to the resulting dwm executable. I'm running it as I type this. Unlike 5.4.1, left-clicking labels has no effect, other than to blue-highlight the clicked label. To move to displaying the windows associated with, say, label 9, I have to use the keyboard (alt-9). Also, clicking the layout label causes it to toggle between indicating tiled and floating, but no change in the layout occurs; again, this must be accomplished with the keyboard. At least in my particular environment, use of the mouse to change tag or layout is broken in 5.6. My usage of dwm is pretty simple. I start X with startx, and my .xinitrc simply invokes dwm. I then start an xterm and run the applications I want, backgrounding them with the shell. As I said, 5.4.1 works fine, but it looks to me like something got broken subsequent to that version. /Don Allen
