Fwd: [hackers] [dwm] I don't see any reason why we should select for input on override-redirect windows?

[Anselm R. Garbe]

Hi there,

I'd like to ask those using dwm in a multihead setup to test hg
tip, to make sure it works well before I create 3.5.

When hacking 2wm I noticed following code in maprequest() and it
seemed odd to me, why selecting for input of override_redirect
windows...? I can only consider this has been added by some
multihead patch!?
