Re: [dwm] We need a different Xinerama implementation

I have been using dwm with an external monitor for a while, just as is...using
only the external monitor losing the screen resolution on my laptop screen.

These days im rather busy and can take much care about dwm, but I hope to have
some time to test all the xinerama changes in dwm 4.8.

I have some ideas really closer to the ones exposed by you and yiyus, but I
don't want to think on it until i have something to test and check how i feel
with it.

btw, maybe i'll have to check the repository instead of waiting for the release :)
