I'm not convinced you use dwm like me. When I have to deal with floating windows, I tag them specifically and then only view that particular tag (for example when using gimp). However, if some crappy app (browser, libreoffice, etc) creates a transient popup, I don't want it to be behind my tiled windows, otherwise I wouldn't even notice their existence. The current approach has been in place since the very early beginning of dwm, so I don't intend to change it in the ways you suggest. I would rather add them to the patches section. Cheers, Anselm
