Do you guys hang out at any microblogging platform? I used to use
identi.ca, but the move to pump.io put me off somewhat -- the client I
was used to use didn't work anymore, etc. Also, as far as I can tell,
there's not much going on there these days.

Hello,
When, e.g., zathura is in fullscreen mode, one can change focus to
another window while zathura remains on screen. This can
be disorienting. Is this a problem with zathura, or something that can be
patched in dwm?
(There is at least one easy workaround: using monocle

Is this what you try to do with "when", or am I missing something? (Apart
from the fact that many of you consider that fish sucks).

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a patch that provides the means to
return to the previously focused window (if it exists). That is, for
example, if I'm
on window1 and launch a window2, MOD+p (say) would take me back to
window1.

Hello,
In some programs I use frequently, their fullscreen mode is interesting in that
it is stripped down of menu bars, icons and the like. For instance, LyX, a
LaTeX frontend I use sometimes, is like that. This is good if you know your
keybindings: no screen wasted in stuff you don't need. OTOH
