Well, it might work, but lets say that I'm skeptical. Also I wonder if the gain of moving the handful of lines of code involved in drawing dwm's GUI into a library would really be worth it. Excessive and naive obsession with code reuse is one of the major sources of gratuitous complexity in the s

Hi, I received my long awaited X200s yesterday, and the dwm development will continue now, first item in the queue is the new multihead support as discussed on IRC a while ago. The basic idea is to use the available Xinerama screens as mutual exclusive additional tagset for clients, so that each
