Hi Daniel,
thanks a lot for your comments. I will review my local repo and will
change some things.
Cheers,

Hi kix,
When you have two monitors, you basically have two options. The most
popular one nowadays is to merge the two screens into a wide one
with xrandr (earlier it was with Xinerama, or TwinView, or
BigDesktop, or whatnot). Then you really have one screen (in X.org
sense), which is quite possibly not rectangular. WM manages that
single screen and displays a single dock, at the left of the
leftmost head (monitor) or at the right of the rightmost one. The
other option is to keep the two screens separate. As I understand,
windows can't extend from one screen to another, they can't be moved
across screens. There is a single X server, the user logs in once
and he gets two screens, but those are totally independent from each
other. A single instance of WM manages both, and each has its own
dock. I've never run that setup; in fact, I wouldn't even know how
to force X to keep the two screens separate to test my changes in
that condition. But I think that explains the "multiple screen" code
in WM.
HTH,

Hi,
only one stu^H^H^H simple question.
There are one Clip per Workspace, but...
How many Docks are in wmaker? One? Is the same for all workspaces?
Probably seems an s^H simple question, but I am working on workspaces
these days and yesterday I had this question. See this:
screen.c:
722 if (!wPreferences.flags.nodock && wScreen[j]->dock)
723 wScreen[j]->last_dock = wScreen[j]->dock;
This code show that there are one Dock per Screen. IMO, it makes no
sense.
I have code here with only one Dock. I am testing.
Cheers.
