DWM and tags assignements

Hey,

I'm now playing a bit with DWM, but one thing resists to me .

I want to force program to appear on the corresponding tag, but I think my syntax is wrong.

Here is the main excerpt :

static const char *tags[] = { "term", "www", "media", "tex", "tor", "mess", "view", "sys" };
static const Rule rules[] = { 
    /* class              instance    title       tags mask     isfloating   monitor */ 
    { "Chromium-browser",    NULL,       NULL,    2<<0,        False,    -1},
    { "Vlc",        NULL,       NULL,    3<<0,        True,    -1},
    { "Deluge-gtk",        NULL,       NULL,    5<<0,        False,    -1},
    { "Empathy",        NULL,       NULL,    6<<0,        True,    -1},
    { "Evince",        NULL,       NULL,    7<<0,        False,  -1},
    { "Stalonetray",    NULL,       NULL,    8<<0,        False,    -1},
};

I precise that chomium behaves correctly with that syntax.

Feel free to share the rest of the config.

1<<n, where n is the tag

0, if you want to specify some rule but no predefined tag.

so for example :

stalonetray 1<<8 ??

and if you have any better possibility to replace stalonetray ??

Keep in mind that the tag count starts at 0, so that would start the stalonetray app in the 9th tag.

I don't know a replacement to that app, I do not use any tray bar or something like that.
