Browsing via MOD+<Left> / MOD+<Right>. I'm really sorry, but I don't understand what you're saying here.

In scrotwm, there is a single set of workspaces shared between all monitors, and each workspace can be displayed on a single monitor at a time. So, if you are on 1:3 and 2:2, focusing screen 1, and you move to the 2nd workspace, the contents of the monitors are swapped, resulting in 1:2 and 2:3. This is, as far as I can tell, the intended behaviour and, while kinda confusing, totally consistent. > (In addition to this the window with focus in the Nth workspace changes). I haven't played much with scrotwm on a dual-head setup, so I can't confirm this, but sounds like a bug. -- Andrea Bolognani <[email protected]> Resistance is futile, you will be garbage collected.
