Closing applications in DWM causes a core dump?

subterranean · 2015-10-27 01:00:38

According to the wiki, DWM cleanly exits applications when ALT+SHIFT+C is pressed, however journalctl seems to indicate otherwise. Here's an example.

Mod-Shift-c kills the window client, it doesn't say anything about safely shutting down what is running in that window...

According to the wiki:

To cleanly close a window using dwm, simply press Shift + Mod1 + c.

.

If this doesn't mean what I think it means, I've been closing my windows wrong for a long time.

You can read the function killclient in dwm.c: there is nothing there that gracefully shuts down an application in the client.
