Stump doesn't arrange them in any case, it just queries the X server for the arrangement (through the wince-inducing means of parsing xdpyinfo output). Cloning is the default for the server, and programs like xrandr use the RandR extension to tell the server to change it (then the server notifies stump and it queries it as above). RandR has effectively superceded Xinerama btw (in a backwards-compatible manner). +1 to the comments about downplaying multiple screen support: if there are any stump users with multiple screens, they're rare and already know what they're doing. > A group is usually referred to as a "desktop" or "workspace" in other > window managers. I'm tempted to suggest we should change this terminology to match everyone else. The term 'group' is taken from screen, but it doesn't exactly match the functionality there, and it leads to madness like this: https://github.com/stumpwm/stumpwm/blob/master/window.lisp#L133-134 This looks like excellent and much-needed newbie documentation, thank you for your effort.
