  * dynamic window manager is designed like any other X client as well. It is

- * manager like dwm selects for SubstructureRedirectMask on the root window, to
- * receive events about child window appearance and disappearance.  Only one X
- * connection at a time is allowed to select for this event mask.

- * Calls to fetch an X event from the event queue of the X connection are
- * blocking.  Due the fact, that dwm reads status text from standard input, a
- * select-driven main loop has been implemented which selects for reads on the
- * X connection and STDIN_FILENO to handle all data smoothly and without
- * busy-loop quirks. The event handlers of dwm are organized in an array which
- * is accessed whenever a new event has been fetched. This allows event
- * dispatching in O(1) time.
