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

|
||||
* receive events about window appearance and disappearance. Only one X
|

|

* 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.
