dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

+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

+.IP "2. $HOME/.local/share/dwm"
+.IP "3. $HOME/.dwm"

+autostart.sh
+This file is started as a shell background process before dwm enters its handler

+autostart_blocking.sh
+This file is started before any autostart.sh; dwm waits for its termination.
.SH CUSTOMIZATION
dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

+.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
(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 .
-.P
-GTK 2.10.9+ versions contain a broken
-.BR Save\-As
-file dialog implementation,
-which requests to reconfigure its window size in an endless loop. However, its
-window is still respondable during this state, so you can simply ignore the flicker
-until a new GTK version appears, which will fix this bug, approximately
-GTK 2.10.12+ versions.
