Fixing minecraft with DWM and Arch Linux

In DWM minecraft doesn't work correctly, due to Java not recognizing DWM as a window manager, minecraft will appear something like this.


The fix is quite easy. Install the wname package using pacman and set the window manager name to something java will recognize.

# pacman -S wmname

# wmname LG3D

This is not a permanent change, so it is a good idea to add it to your .xinitrc file in your home directory
