I also like cwm.

One thing that's bugging me now though is the borders on windows.
I've started playing with acme from plan9ports, and I like it to occupy my whole screen except a gap area for xclock and xload. The trouble is landing the mouse on the top tag (a one line area with editable command names that acts kind of like a menu would in a Mac/Windows style UI) so I can type in a path or command to go to or run. If I lazily sweep up there I land in acme's X window border I think. At least wherever the mouse does land it doesn't give the tag input focus to allow me to type into it without careful aim.

I'm half considering hacking at cwm to make windows that abut the screen edges have a border of zero width. Can you think of any better way to deal with this? The ignore configure file setting will give a window class zero border width, but it also leaves it out of window selection commands, which is not wanted here.
