I dynno why they have done that but as far as I understand it seems to
work with dwm - but I read your post that you inted to use the second
screen just for having a tiling environment on that... but I like to
have a second screen with tiling (maybe to define tags 1-4 go to screen1
and 5-9 to screen 2 or something like that)

but I think this needs a little bit of hacking the whole thing ;)

P.S. I'm waiting eagerly for your new project which will be shown at
