I'm afraid you're approaching the issue from the wrong angle. Exwm is smart than you think. As of today, there are workarounds (.exwm) that attempt to "solve" non-existent issues. As for the fact the you, Ludovic, don't have a .exwm file and configure Exwm from your emacs init file: are you aware that you're running a default Exwm config? M-x find-library RET exwm-config; and take a look at exwm-config-example. I find this extremely annoying, since it defeats the purpose of having a personal Exwm config. The only way to avoid this is to create an empty .exwm file. Again, sending a patch is trivial (I've been running my own Exwm for a while now), but I need to convince you first :) -- André A.
