[wmii] Dual-monitor setup

Hello,

I found Christians script rather useful - thanks for that.
Even though it took me a while to figure it out (3am, what can I say..)
I managed to get it working and I found a small "bug" - or rather missing
feature - in it, so I modified it a little.
The original script failed if the other wmii had some tag selected which
didn't have any windows open. This one works with that also.

I'm sorry that I couldn't quote or reply properly but I just subscribed
to this mailing list (and I fail at mail clients).
