Re: [dwm] dwm and dualhead

It should probably be abstracted further, to just a list of monitor
positions in the buffer. I'm working on an xrandr patch to do just
this (I took all the recent messages about xrandr as a challenge =)

Anselm: re: method #3, the screen-tagging approach, I think it would be
simple to use part of the tag bits as a monitor specifier. ie for 2
monitors reserve the topmost bit for the screen (0 or 1), or for 3 or 4
screens use the top 2 bits. the storage is already there, and the
tagmask will easily keep it out of the way other code. Then something
like MOD-1 for tag 1 on screen 0, and MOD-F1 for tag 1 on screen 1,
where the keybinding simply adds the extra bit?
