As it happens i recently found and just fixed a simple two pass algorithm to keep the waste space quite minimal[*] and distribute the remaining space to the earliest clients in the heap. See the stackclients() function in teslawm's latest tip: http://spuerwerk.dyndns.org/~rfigura/teslawm/cgi-bin/hgweb.cgi/file/19f41ca1e6a9/teslawm.c#l2208 I hope the relevant code is not too far away from dwm's so you don't have to look at other sins i left there for your amusement ;-p Have fun, Robert Figura [*] Usually there should be less than min(HINT_INCREMENTAL of all clients) waste space but i think one can construct an example where it would be max(...) instead. If you construct such an example let me know. -- http://teslawm.org/
