Integrating Conky into dwm
==========================

When switching from OpenBox back to good ol' dwm recently, I had the problem
that Conky would not integrate well when using the `own_window yes` setting.
dwm just tried to manage the window and even when using dwm's `rules[]` array
to make sure it is treated as a floating window, dwm broke the window geometry
set up in my `.conkyrc` by placing it in a random position on the screen. I
basically just searched for a way to make dwm ignore that window completely.

Having a brief look at dwm's source code, this turned out to be very simple. A
map request is handled as follows:

----
void
maprequest(XEvent *e) {
  static XWindowAttributes wa;
  XMapRequestEvent *ev = &e->xmaprequest;

  if(!XGetWindowAttributes(dpy, ev->window, &wa))
    return;
  if(wa.override_redirect)
    return;
  if(!wintoclient(ev->window))
    manage(ev->window, &wa);
}
----

So if we can make Conky set the override-redirect flag on its window, we would
have solved all of our problems. Well. Some five minutes later, I had an
awesome Conky panel at the right-hand side of my monitor, using the
`own_window_type override` setting in my `.conkyrc`.
