 .SH NAME
 dwm \- dynamic window manager
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B dwm
 .RB [ \-v ]
 .SH DESCRIPTION
-.B dwm
-is a dynamic window manager for X11. It manages windows in tiling and floating
-modes. Either mode can be applied dynamically, depending on the application in
-use and the task performed.
+dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled, monocle
+and floating layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimising the
+environment for the application in use and the task performed.
 .P
-In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
-column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the
-stacking column contains all other windows in a stack.  Dialog windows are
-managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved
-freely.
+In tiled layouts windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
+area on the left contains one window by default, and the stacking area on the
+right contains all other windows. The number of master area windows can be
+adjusted from zero to an arbitrary number. In monocle layout all windows are
+maximised to the screen size. In floating layout windows can be resized and
+moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating, regardless of the
+layout applied.
 .P
-Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a
-time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in
-several views.
+Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
+tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
 .P
-.B dwm
-has a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard
-input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the
-focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window
-displaying the tags and the window title.
+Each screen contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the
+layout, the title of the focused window, and the text read from the root window
+name property, if the screen is focused. A floating window is indicated with an
+empty square and a maximised floating window is indicated with a filled square
+before the windows title.  The selected tags are indicated with a different
+color. The tags of the focused window are indicated with a filled square in the
+top left corner.  The tags which are applied to one or more windows are
+indicated with an empty square in the top left corner.
+.P
+dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.
+.P
+On start, dwm can start additional programs that may be specified in two special
+shell scripts (see the FILES section below), autostart_blocking.sh and
+autostart.sh.  The former is executed first and dwm will wait for its
+termination before starting.  The latter is executed in the background before
+dwm enters its handler loop.
+.P
+Either of these files may be omitted.

+the following directories:
+.IP "1. $XDG_DATA_HOME/dwm"
+.IP "2. $HOME/.local/share/dwm"
+.IP "3. $HOME/.dwm"
+.P
+The first existing directory is scanned for any of the autostart files below.

+loop.
+.TP 15
+autostart_blocking.sh
+This file is started before any autostart.sh; dwm waits for its termination.
 .SH CUSTOMIZATION

+.SH ISSUES
+Java applications which use the XToolkit/XAWT backend may draw grey windows
+only. The XToolkit/XAWT backend breaks ICCCM-compliance in recent JDK 1.5 and early
+JDK 1.6 versions, because it assumes a reparenting window manager. Possible workarounds
+are using JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or setting the
+environment variable
+.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit
+(to use the older Motif backend instead) or running
+.B xprop -root -f _NET_WM_NAME 32a -set _NET_WM_NAME LG3D
+or
+.B wmname LG3D
+(to pretend that a non-reparenting window manager is running that the
+XToolkit/XAWT backend can recognize) or when using OpenJDK setting the environment variable
+.BR _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING=1 .
