dwm:
I downloaded source from the official site, unpacked it, installed (make, make install clean) and everything worked. However, when i altered config.h, it compiled nicely, but changes wouldn't appear (terminal shortcut, etc).
wmii:
I guess this is easy one. What is the MOD setting for Ctrl in wmiirs (MOD1 is Alt)?
xmonad:
This tiny file requires a 40mb program as a dependency. Is there a workaround for this?

dwm:
# pacman -S cvsup
change "!community" in /etc/abs/abs.conf to "community"
# abs
copy the dwm folder in /var/abs/community/x11/ into /var/abs/local
copy your changed config.h into /var/abs/local/dwm
delete the md5sum of the config.h in dwm's PKGBUILD
# makepkg
works great here...

if you are building from abs, be sure you edit the config.h in the root dwm directory. another one is created in the src subdirectory but it gets overwritten by the one in the dwm root.

Thx guys, md5 error always bothered me. It works like charm now
However, the other two problems remain

i should have read your first post more carefully. i suggest you use abs to build dwm. it will do all the dirty work for you. if you still have no luck doing it this way, please post your config.h and let us see if maybe you are changing something incorrectly.

sudo make install && killall dwm
pacman roulette : pacman -S $(pacman -Slq | LANG=C sort -R | head -n $((RANDOM % 10)))

did you get out of dwm when you made the changes and recompiled? Changes take effect after you restart dwm.

as i wrote several posts above, my dwm problem is now gone. Any opinions on the rest of my original post?

xmonad:
I never tried xmonad but from what I can tell it is written and depending on haskell. There is no "work around" this.
wmii:
never tried this one either. Have you tried "ctrl" instead of MOD1?

xmonad doesnt need to depend on ghc, someone needs to split ghc into the compiler, and libghc (ubuntu, debian and other distros do this), just like we have done with gcc.
You'll still need ghc to rebuild xmonad for configuration changes, but that's just like requiring gcc to rebuild dwm.... though gcc's a tad more standard and common.

ok, wmii problem is solved. It's "Control"! (ran into this while reading a fluxbox tutorial )
@iphitus
so i'm going to have to install it sooner or later?
