cleaning up my own dwm patches here, I have patched dwm to take the current
monitor index, because the software does not keep track of these things
anywhere else.
dmenu patch [1] against current tip 487 -- makes dmenu take a cli argument
about what screen it is supposed to use. said screen will be inherited by the
started application unless otherwise specified by a rule.
dwm launcher function [2] against current tip 1599 that passes the current
monitor accordingly. I hooked it up with a key combo.
patches to your terminal emulator would be possible likewise.
cheers!
