Well I read through all responds and my favorit looks as the
following:

I agree on Kurts approach. Having only 1 tagset (say 1,..,9) for
all screens, but have per-screen layouts and separate bars on
each screen (to avoid complexity). Now one can select certain
tags on any screen, but this selection will be mutiual exclusive
to other screens. Which might have the result that a certain
screen might not have any tags selected, hence only displaying
the wallpaper and its specific bar.

This concept allows to keep navigation and tagging as simple as
it is atm.

A question regarding xmonad, do you warp the mouse to a specific
screen if a specific client is focussed by keyboard or tagging
rules?

Kind regards,
