Hu.
Somewhere the list must have fallen of the e-mail-train. Putting the
list back on. Sorry!

Hi again.
I tried this:
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "i", function ()
naughty.notify({text=mouse.screen}) end),
and it worked as expected. I.e. it shows the correct screen the mouse
is currently on as a number in the top right of my primary screen.
However, I looked a little bit deeper into the issue. Correct me if I am
wrong, but for the "start-terminal" (and probably all others) case the
final function called is spawn(...) in the file spawn.c!?
If this is the case, then awesome must be doing some unusual stuff.
I wrote the attached very simple test program.
Compilable with
gcc spawner.c -o spawner $(pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0)
This program opens a terminal on the screen the mouse is currently on
(it does this so by itself by calling g_spawn_async, no thanks to me) in
the same way (I think!) as awesome does.
This works for fluxbox, gnome, kde and xfce on all my three screens.
in awesome it works on the center and the left screen but not on the
right screen. I infer from this, that the problem has nothing (or
something very weird) to do with my setup.
I don't know what to do without diving into the code of glib, which I'd
like to avoid.
Any ideas?

Andre
