Default WM config

Being inspired by the screenshots of peoples OBSDs, I've a more general question, that always bugged me. What do you use to configure your wm? just manual, conf editing and restart X after each change?

I restart the window manager. The window manager has a "restart" control.

Not sure if you are asking about WindowMaker or window managers in general? For x11/openbox the restart command is
$ openbox --reconfigure.
The default menu for x11/openbox also has a restart option

I use this "script" to change the configuration for x11/dwm:
Code:
Puffy: ~ $ cat ~/bin/updwm
doas pkg_delete dwm
rm /usr/ports/packages/amd64/all/dwm-*.tgz
cd /usr/ports/x11/dwm && make clean && make patch
cp /home/empty/backups/config.h /usr/ports/pobj/dwm-*/dwm-*
make install
I only change config.h and keep that in ~/backups

Then it's just a case of Mod4+Shift+q to restart the desktop
