I don't plan any specific multihead support. If you have a dual
head setup (like me at university), I recommend compiling dwm
for the left and right screen independently.

The left screen dwm should have set

#define STACKPOS StackLeft

in config.h, and the right dwm should have set

#define STACKPOS StackRight

in config.h

This way I can run

DISPLAY=:0.0 dwm.left &
DISPLAY=:0.1 dwm.right

in my .xinitrc, and I get following setup:

SMMM MMMS
SMMM MMMS

with indicating (M)aster area and (S)tacking area
