-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 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
+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.

+Each screen contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the

+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

+.SH BUGS
+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 .
+.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.
