TESTING

If you want try the ursowm actual status you can try it using Xephyr:

$: Xephyr -ac -br -screen 1300x900 -reset :1 & $: DISPLAY=:1 $: uroswm (or uroswm & if need to free the commandline)

Remember that the number :1 is the display you are going to set for Xephyr, it can't run on the one where X11 is running on.

Distributions could have did set as they want/needed the DISPLAY env var, for example actually on ubuntu you can't set DISPLAY=:1 because it is used for X11, you have to do DISPLAY:=2 for Xephyr, while on manjaro you can use :1.
