Hi!
I'm using scrotwm on a laptop with a monitor connected. Scrotwm
detects the dual head setup, but acts funny regarding the screens.
First of all when scrotwm starts, it starts on 1:1 and 2:2 screens
on the two displays respectively. Maybe this is intentional, but I think
the default is 1:1 and 2:1, and this is some kind of a bug.
This has to be intentional, otherwise dual-head would have 20 windows
Then if I navigate across desktops (ws_prev, ws_next) on - let's say -
the first screen (it stands on 1:1 initially), using ws_next, scrotwm
jumps to 1:2 on screen 1, and jumps from 2:2 to 2:1 on screen 2. On the
top if this, the xterm which was on 1:1 initially, gets moved to screen
2 (now desktop 2:1).
After this, using ws_prev restores the previous state; switches to 1:1
and 2:2 respectively and moves back the xterm window to 1:1.
What I was expecting, is that depending on which screen is active (1 or
2), when I use the ws_prev or ws_next it jumps across the active
screen's desktops. So if screen 1 is active, using ws_next would get me
from 1:1->1:2->1:3->1:4 etc..., and using ws_prev would get me from
1:4->1:3->1:2->1:1 etc... Not touching the windows (e.g.: the above xterm
example) and the other screen(s) desktops and states.
Am I making sense? :) I'm willing make screenshots (lots of them :) if
this is somewhat shady.
So is the above described behavior intended, or is this a bug?
Are you saying what is on one side swaps to other side when you swap one
window into content on other window?
I kind-of like this. as in 2 and 3 are up, I hit alt-3 and they swap.
Or are you using alt arrow and getting this

I see you are running with left and right swapped.
When running two different size screens, this is the only way I could
get all apps to work correctly
