 (you only need to pole date once a minute for as accurate as you are  
 getting)

but then you probably have to wait one minute when you want to
shutdown (Alt-q) dwm.

(At least it was like this in earlier releases - I dont know about
the current ones.)

Any help would be appreciated, and also how could i do the same
without using threads?



This seems to work fine for me...

Much thanks for the code, my mind was stuck on threads, but that is
much simpler.
I am on an 8 yeard old T-23, and dwm really makes it rock. Its as if
it was designed for the Thinkpad considering that the trackpoint keeps
your hands right on the right keys. Using dwm i feel liberated from
the pointer device :P

[dwm] for reference, Xinerama

[Anselm R. Garbe]

Hi there,

just for the tracker, I recently agreed to slightly extend dwm's
and dmenu's Xinerama support to query the mouse pointer for the
default Xinerama screen to use, and using 0 instead as fallback
if there is no pointer.

Thus xidx will be removed again.

But with this mechanism it is possible to change the dwm main
screen without restarting X, just restart dwm.

Kind regards,
