Description
-----------
-This backports dwm's old behaviour found in pre-5.3 releases to read the status
-text from stdin. It's a matter of personal preference, adds a few LOC, is less
-prone to freezing (in my experience) and included here for the sake of
-completeness.
+dwm releases before 5.3 read the status text from stdin.
+This patch is mainly a workaround for the freezing issue caused by
+`XSelectInput` with the previous version of the [warp](warp) patch.
+Some people might like to write their status to a pipe, though.

+ In the patch for r1525, there is a problem with this caused by `XSelectInput`, causing the
+ statusbar to freeze. Interestingly, the [stdin](stdin) patch works around this.
