Re: [dwm] Xinerama support

Recently I buyed a 20" 16:10 tft, and i really feel interesting to have
xinerama with dwm. Thinking about that I got the idea that we should just
store two variables:

  - selected tag for each monitor (static array?)
  - focused monitor index

This way we can add some functions over these concepts to switch focus
between monitors.

This would be really nice if you're going to use an external monitor or
a "projector" to give a talk, you can have different contents on each
monitor and work "out" of the view for the public.

What do you think about this behaviour?
