why not just:

I see no use in backgrounding dwm, and then waiting for it.
What did I miss?

Nothing; backgrounding dwm was left from trying a few other ways to do it. Thank you.
Then it can be simplified further:

  while true; do
      xsetroot -name ...
      sleep 1
  done &
  dwm
  kill $!

I wonder whether the README should be updated accordingly. But it is there for years and nobody seemed to notice before. I attach the trivial patch, just in case.
