In tiled layouts windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
-area contains the window which currently needs most attention, whereas the
-stacking area contains all other windows. In monocle layout all windows are
+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.
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
-dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the layout,
-the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. 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.
+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.

+Either of these files may be omitted.

+The files containing programs to be started along with dwm are searched for in

+.IP "1. $XDG_DATA_HOME/dwm"

+.IP "3. $HOME/.dwm"
+.P
+The first existing directory is scanned for any of the autostart files below.

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

+.TP 15
+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 SEE ALSO
-.BR dmenu (1)
-.SH BUGS
-The status bar may display
-.BR "EOF"
-when dwm has been started by an X session manager like
-.BR xdm (1),
-because those close standard output before executing dwm.

+.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. As a workaround
-you can use JDK 1.4 (which doesn't contain the XToolkit/XAWT backend) or you
-can set the following environment variable (to use the older Motif
-backend instead):
-.BR AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit .
-.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.
+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 .
