Managed - bakkeby/dmenu GitHub Wiki

By default dmenu will set the override_redirect window attribute to true which indicates to the window manager that the window controls size and positioning. In other words the window manages itself and is not to be managed by the window manager.

The Managed functionality, if enabled, makes it so that dmenu can be managed by the window manager. This may be helpful in contexts where it is preferrable to treat dmenu as a normal window rather than an overlay (i.e. focus is allowed to drift away from dmenu).

The functionality originates from the managed patch for dmenu.
