You're probably confusing a few things. First, better awesomers than I am
would say it's not "desktop 1" as much as "tag 1", since you can have multiple
tags on the same window, as well as multiple tags displayed at the same time,
it's not like they were different desktops.
Then, if I understand correctly what you describe, it's not the same "desktop
1" on each screen…
> Ie, both the panel on the

… only it's "desktop 1" on different desktop lists.
Each screen has it's own tags list. If you look at rc.lua, you should find
,----
| for s = 1, screen.count() do
| …
| …
| mytaglist[s] = awful.widget.taglist(s, awful.widget.taglist.label.all,
mytaglist.buttons)
`----
because a different taglist is created for each, really. You could name them
differently, for instance.

They probably are, and have each one their own taglist. Maybe what you want to

Hope I'm not just being less clear than Julien who took me /de vitesse/.
