That's not totally right. It is certainly possible to draw the same window (though with the same dimensions i have to admit) on two different screens. The keyword is... XComposite which is stable for years now, and definitely the mid-term future of X11. <rant> I am still wondering, that awesome is so "future"-like (XCB, XDG config dirs, etc.) but it still does not add a backend of probably the biggest change in usability possibilities in X11 of the last 10 years. </rant> That said, I probably should just find time for that myself, as Julien at least did at least seem to accept a well written patch for that, but I am not sure, if that has changed in the meantime. -- Martin -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
