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

- * Calls to fetch an X event from the X event queue connection are blocking.
- * Due reading 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.

  * Each child of the root window is called a client, except windows which have

  * global tags array to indicate the tags of a client.  For each client dwm
- * creates a small title window which is resized whenever the WM_NAME or
- * _NET_WM_NAME properties are updated or the client is resized.
