I used FVWM for less than like 2 hours, and then, when I came back to dwm, I 
noticed all my windows were being treated as dialog ones, and so none of them 
respected my default window layout (monocle).

I'm currently running dwm 6.6 on Gentoo, provided by their official package 
repository. If it matters, I also have the following patches applied to it:

dwm-bartabgroups-20210802-138b405.diff
dwm-center-6.2.diff
dwm-preventfocusshift-20240831-6.5.diff
dwm-refreshrate-20230826-9554a10.diff
dwm-removeborder-20220626-d3f93c7.diff

But I don't think it might be their fault, as I've been using them almost since 
I started using dwm as well (months ago), and never had any problems with them.

Then, I've also installed dwmblocks as I came back from FVWM. I thought it 
could be the issue as well, but after starting dwm without it, there was no 
difference whatsoever.

So, what could possibly be causing this? Could FVWM have interfered with how 
windows behave in X, or could it actually be dwmblocks' fault and I didn't 
catch it?

The weirdest part is how _all_ windows are affected. No matter what program I 
launch, all of them will have their window behaving as floating ones. A quick 
fix would be to use Mod+Shift+<space> on each of them, but they won't retain 
that parameter after I close them.
