If you compile wmaker with --enable-randr then wmaker automatically restarts whenever it detects changes induced by xrandr. I use it all the time, but it is an ugly hack which I am not proud of. Note that some people had problems with infinite loops of wmaker restarts, so --enable-randr is not compiled by most distros. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-user-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
