Whenever I start Chromium (whether by Mod-p, or by command line) it is spawned as a floating window in wmii. I have double- and triple-checked that none of my tagrules could be setting it to be a floating window. Every other application starts normally as a stacked window. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Below is some info about my setup (let me know if more would be helpful to diagnose the problem).
Thanks!

I use wmii but do not know the reason for your problem. However, the good folks at the wmii mailing list most certainly would. I suggest you subscribe to "dev" mail list here: http://suckless.org/community and preface your query with "[wmii]".
Philosophy is looking for a black cat in a dark room. Metaphysics is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there. Religion is looking for a black cat in a dark room that isn't there and shouting "I found it!". Science is looking for a black cat in a dark room with a flashlight.

I haven't used wmii in a long time. But have you tried explicitly setting chromium as tiled. even though your default wmii might be set to tiling mode
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

I solved the problem (with the help of the wmii mailing list: http://lists.suckless.org/dev/1103/7220.html). It turned out to be a Chromium problem, rather than a wmii one. The solution is simply to turn on "Use system title bar and borders" in Chromium's settings.
I am still not sure why wmii cannot get Chromium under control even without this setting set properly, but I'll save that for another day.
