[dev] dwm: attach above patch

[Mate Nagy]

Hi all,
 this is a patch against current hg that attaches new clients above the
current focused client, as opposed to as master every time. (This is how
xmonad behaves).

Regards,
 Mate

[dev] dwm in a window

[Alexander Polakov]

Hi all

 Something like this was requested by some people here and there who
are not comfortable with running a tiling window manager for all the
windows.

 Well, explaining is not my best (and english too), so better take a
look at a picture

 Or get the code here (I wonder why didn't I put the diff) and try it yourself

What's wrong with using floating mode for some windows?

How is it different from rio[1]?

Oh, wait, forgot that X is over thirty years behind on window system
technology[2].

Yeah. But at least it doesn't look like rio. :)
