Thanks for your explanation. I had not thought about the window being
in two tags, but displayed once. I am guessing this is a X limitation.
Maybe someday when wmii does offscreen rendering that will be easy to
fix. :)
I didn't know regex tags existed; very cool feature.
The one problem I have with using regex tags -- and this could only be
problem this early in multihead support -- is that for each tag I have
to fix the layout on the secondary display otherwise the windows don't
appear in the same place in all views. Subsequently if something
changes, I might have to resize windows on all tags to make the view
consistent.
Thanks again.
