 .SH NAME
 dwm \- dynamic window manager
 .SH SYNOPSIS
 .B dwm
 .RB [ \-v ]
 .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, depending on the application in
-use and the task performed.
+dwm is a dynamic window manager for X. 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.
+.P
+In tiling mode 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 floating mode windows can be
+resized and moved freely. Dialog windows are always managed floating,
+regardless of the mode applied.
 .P
-In tiling mode windows are managed in a master and stacking column. The master
-column contains the window which needs most attention at a time, whereas the
-stacking column contains all other windows in a stack.  Dialog windows are
-managed floating, however. In floating mode windows can be resized and moved
-freely.
+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
-Windows are grouped by tags. All windows with a specific tag can be viewed at a
-time. But each window may contain more than one tag, which makes it visible in
-several views.
+dwm contains a small status bar which displays all available tags, the mode,
+the title of the focused window, and the text read from standard input. 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
-It consists of a small status bar which reads the text displayed from standard
-input, if written. It draws 1-pixel borders around windows to indicate the
-focus state. Unfocused windows contain a small bar in front of the window
-displaying the tags and the window title.
+dwm draws a small border around windows to indicate the focus state.

 .SH CUSTOMIZATION
-.B dwm
-is customized through editing its source code.  This keeps it fast, secure and
-simple. The source code contains the
-.I CUSTOMIZE
-keyword to highlight relevant portions for customization.
+dwm is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
+code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
+.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 .
