Re: [dev] Placement of wimenu (was: Placement of wmii bar in XRandR setup)

Hi,

apparently, wimenu displays the menu on that XRandR output which
includes the mouse pointer -- independently from which column on which
output is focussed. I'd expect it rather to be displayed on top of the
wmii bar, which (due to Andrew's helpful hint) resides on the primary
output.

Is this placement a bug or a feature?
