### Display Manager Problems with Full Screen Windows
Using `dwm` or its [Wayland](/wiki/linux/wayland.md) counterpart `dwl` there may be some problems
with full screen programs.
Some of these programs (especially [Steam](/wiki/game/steam.md) [Games](/wiki/game.md)) might
apparently freeze.
However, this may be not the case as they may be only displaying a freeze frame.
This can sometimes be fixed by navigating out of the window managers full screen, then making it a
floating window and then setting it to be full screen again.
