Packaging dwm

[Petr Sabata]

Hey,

I've been thinking about packaging dwm [1] since we already ship dmenu and
dzen2. I wonder if anybody would be interested in this fine window manager
(except for me).

The problem here: dwm is configured solely in C and has to be recompiled
every time a user wants to change their settings (appearance, behavior,
shortcuts, etc). In my opinion, we could do it like this:

    - install a Fedora preconfigured version along with dwm sources
    - copy its configuration (C header file) to some fixed location for
      user to customize
    - provide a script to recompile dwm locally using the local
      configuration file

Would this be acceptable for a window manager in Fedora?  Would anybody be
interested in this? :)

Thanks, Petr
