Hi Patrick,
sadly, there is no way to do this in X11. Any given window can only be displayed
in one place at a time. If awesome let you attach windows to two different
screens, it couldn't actually transport this information to the X server once
the client becomes visible on both screen.
So sorry, not possible.
Also, this doesn't really belong to devel, but since it's already here....
Cheers,
Uli
