.SH CUSTOMIZATION
.B dwm
is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
.SH CAVEATS
The status bar may display
.B broken pipe
when
.B dwm
has been started by
.BR xdm (1),
because it closes standard output before executing
.BR dwm .
