Has anyone patched dwm to do something similar?
Why don't you start dwm somewhere as "dwm &" in your .xinitrc/whatever and use xterm as the "last resort" application to keep the X server running? dwm & xterm I was running for a long time for this - you just kill dwm (from xterm or otherwise) and then I do whatever I want from the xterm (launch dwm again). I used this mode to hack .h files a lot. The only downside is that you have all the windows again on the screen. //Marcin
