I gave up on this approach for DWM and used dzen2 as my status bar instead: https://github.com/sunaku/.dwm/blob/master/dwm-statusbar (Pictured at bottom of this screenshot: http://ompldr.org/vYnUyNg) dzen2 supports XBM and XPM images, which I use from sm4tik's icon set: https://github.com/sunaku/.dwm/tree/master/dwm-statusbar-icons Finally, the SVN version of dzen2 supports clickable areas, so I get nearly the same level of functionality as I did with WMII's statusbar. For instance, all of my statusbar widgets refresh the entire statusbar after their click handler has been executed. This makes it feel responsive. For example, if I change the current song using my MPD statusbar widget, I want to see the new song title immediately, rather than waiting for the next update (at most, 30 seconds later).
