I gave the current tip of dwm a go today in work on my dual head setup.
I find the behaviour of when for example,

mon->0 has some windows
mon->1 has some windows but has focus for the monitor
        - after using meta-e to shift change over to mon->1

I move my mouse over to mon->0 to a window, highlight it and start doing
something, but when I hit meta-NUM to change tags, it changes the tags
in mon->1. It's little un-intuitive if for some reason you need to use
the mouse. Shouldn't moving the mouse to change the focus on a window on
mon->0 also change the monitor focus back to mon->0? Is the current
behaviour intended? note, I was using the default configs from the tip.
