tmux (or dvtm, or tabbed, or other multiplexer) run locally inside wm make sense for logically (according to one's logic) or technically connected windows. For me, an irc session is such case -- runs in (what would be in dwm) bottom layout in dvtm+dtach: sic in one window, log tail in the other. The gain of persistent sessions as with tmux and dvtm+dtach is obvious but is another story. --s_
