Rule to start application on screen 1 using Awesome 2.3.6 on SLES 11

[Nico Trebbin]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem starting an application on an second screen.
My setup consists of 2 GPU's, 4 Monitors and a Dual-Twinview setup.

Therefore I have a DISPLAY :0.0 and DISPLAY :0.1 each spanning over two
monitors. The setup of tags and two screens works fine, but I can't figure
out how to start an application on the tag on screen 0. Below please find
my configuration:

screen 0
{
    general
    {
    new_get_focus = true
    new_become_master = true
    sloppy_focus_raise = true
    }
    styles
    {
        normal
        {
            font = "sans 8"
            fg = "#dddddd"
            bg = "#444444"
            border = "#555555"
        }
        focus
        {
            fg = "#000000"
            bg = "#535d6c"
            border = "#535d6c"
        }
        urgent
        {
            fg = "#111111"
            bg = "#ff4500"
        }
    }

    }

        taglist mytaglist
        {
            mouse
            {
                button = "1"
                command = "tag_view"
            }
        }
    }
}

    new_become_master = true

    statusbar mystatusbar1
    {
        position = "top"

        taglist mytaglist1
        {
            mouse
            {
                button = "1"
                command = "tag_view"
            }
        }
    }
}

rules
{
    rule {
    name = "wks"
    tags = "TEST_2"
    float = false
     }
    rule {
    name = "cli"
    tags = "TEST_CLI"
    float = false
     }
    rule {
    name = "epb"
    tags = "TEST_1"
    float = false
     }
    rule {
    name = "login_script.py"
    tags = "TEST_1"
    float = true
     }
    rule {
    name = "config.py"
    tags = "TEST_1"
    float = true
     }
}

keys
{
   key
   {
    modkey = { "Control" }
    key = "t"
        command = "spawn"
        arg = "exec xterm"
   }
   key
   {
    modkey = { "Control", "Shift" }
    key = "left"
        command = "tag_viewprev"
   }
   key
   {
    modkey = { "Control", "Shift" }
    key = "right"
        command = "tag_viewnext"
   }
   key
   {
    modkey = { "Control", "Shift" }
    key = "a"
        command = "spawn"
        arg = "config.py"
   }
}

The start of wks and epb on screen 0 and their assignment to their
specified tag works fine. But the start of cli fails, and the application
opens on screen 0 MCS_1, which might be a default behavior of awesome. Do I
miss some screen variable? I tried:

    rule {
    name = "cli"
    tags = "MCS_CLI"
    screen = 1
    float = false
     }
    rule {
    name = "cli"
    tags = [1][1]
    float = false
     }

but the application is still showing up on the first tag of screen 0.

Any help on this issue is much appreciated!

Unfortunately there is no awesome 3 available for SLES 11, which forced me
to use awesome 2.
