Hi Kurt, > If you only display one tag at a time, you're not using dwm properly. I've been using dwm for years, it sounds like I haven't been *fully* using it, i.e. I haven't been making use of the ability to assign multiple tags to a single client. Can you give me an example how you use this? Many thanks! Cheers, David
