 .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, optimizing the environment for
-the application in use and the task performed.
+dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. It manages windows in tiled and
+untiled layouts. Either layout can be applied dynamically, optimizing 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 currently needs most attention, whereas the
-stacking column contains all other windows. In floating mode windows can be
-resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
-regardless of the mode selected.
+In tiled layout windows are managed in a master and stacking area. The master
+area contains the windows which currently need most attention, whereas the
+stacking area contains all other windows. In untiled layout windows can be
+resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed untiled,
+regardless of the layout applied.
 .P
 Windows are grouped by tags. Each window can be tagged with one or multiple
-tags. Selecting a certain tag for viewing will display all windows with that
-tag.
+tags. Selecting certain tags displays all windows with these tags.
 .P
-.B dwm
-has a small status bar which displays the text read from standard
-input, if written. Besides that, it displays all available tags, and the title
-of the focused window. It draws a 1-pixel border around windows to
-indicate the focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of
-them displaying their tags and title.
+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
+untiled window is indicated with an empty square and a maximized
+untiled 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.

+.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.
+.P
+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 .
