I do a lot of roaming, and long story short, nm-applet is nearly a
requirement for me. No biggie, I just run it in stalonetray and set
it to all tags, shoved up in the corner, only I've ran into two
little issues:
1) sticky windows put an indicator on every tag in the bar. I know
it's on every tag, I put it there, tell me something I don't know.
The patch hides any window which has tags=~0 from the indicators.
( this is simply the 2 lines in drawbar() )
2) since it's on every tag, every time i switch tags, it is the first
thing focused. I dont need to type into a system tray, so the
patch also adds a flag to designate a window as "nofocus" which
tells dwm to skip it when trying to find a window to focus.
To do this, I had to add a way to designate a window as nofocus, so
Rule.isfloating is now a bitmask Rule.flags, with enums for the 3
settings right now: Normal, Floating, NoFocus.
So my config.h, for example, has this Rule:
{ "stalonetray", NULL, NULL, ~0, Floating|NoFocus },
Patch against tip attached, if anyone else is interested - it only adds 7
lines so its still nice and small. =)

hide sticky(tags=~0) windows from tag-bar indicators
also add ability to designate windows as "nofocus" ie, switching tags will
never auto-focus "nofocus" windows, but will skip to next window.
Rules now have a bitmask for the 4th parameter instead of the boolean
isfloating. You can now use the list of enums: Normal, Floating, NoFocus.
For example:
{ "stalonetray", NULL, NULL, ~0, Floating|NoFocus },
will make stalonetray never automatically recieve focus, it will always be
floating, and it will be on every tag, yet not put an indicator in the bar.
