Of course you can make x applications that each solve a spesific

combine applications. I have work with such systems and the time wasted
in transfering data from one to the other is a big problem. Not to say

still have multiple security problems due to poor memory management.

But of course!
(float)*w/(float)*h != (float) (w/h) in most cases also...
assuming w and h are ints.

So if dwm will make it possible for different implementations depending
on needs it would be very nice. I don't want pango as default, but I
have at least one computer I would need it on or I will have to choose
another wm.
