Another Dynamic "Master/Stack" tiling window manager [0]

This gets very good, glowing reports on You Tube as a versatile and
configurable replacement for DWM.

I cloned the git repo, installed a few packages needed to build DK
and compiled it. Copying the config examples and editing them was
straightforward. Key bindings are set with an external daemon
"sxhkd" and a separate configuration file.

I played around and got a setup I felt comfortable with - and it
mimics my DWM setup....

The good points:

Master-Stack
Swallowing works (a GUI prog. started in a terminal swallows the
terminal and takes over its window - no wasted terminal window
hanging about)
Scratchpad - works if you limit to only pushing one window into the
scratchpad stack but it tends to crash if you push additional
windows with the hope to pop them off later...
Multiple layouts - tile, spiral, dwindle (similar to I3's
autotiling layout) etc. etc.

It works with polybar nicely.

Good as it is, I still can't see too much advantage for my use
cases, over DWM, other than the ease of configuration.
